- Oppose good story but no significant change for these men. They are already in custody and will remain so. Natg 19 (talk) 22:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Article is appropriately orange tagged and appears to need lots of work. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:41, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Conditional support The really notable thing here is their guilty plea removes the possibility of a death penalty (instead they will serve a life sentence) but also removes the possibility of a trial and the risk of the case being overturned due to 'invalid' evidence This has been in flux for years, and its an important development after a decade+ of legal drama. With that said, there could be a possible 'mini trial' and we could post then (likely next year). Or post now, but after improvements to the article (currently only contains a single sentence about the guilty plea and is not nearly ready for ITN). Schwinnspeed (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, the article isn't in good shape and this isn't notable Personisinsterest (talk) 23:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support, big news. this is the biggest development in this case that has been ongoing for more than 20 years. A guilty plea wasn't expected because there was talk of the government wanting to imprison them for life (or just sentence them to death). President Biden even denied a plea proposal just last September. — That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 01:36, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This is really nothing, doesn't cap off anything since they've been incarcerated since. Article is also poor quality, far too much proseline and details and not really a narrative approach of a quality article. --Masem (t) 01:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose WTF? This event was 20 years ago. The first thing the article needs to explain is why this is happening at all right now. And a quick glance didn't answer that question for me. A simple explanation for us ignorant masses please, before I can support anything being posted. HiLo48 (talk) 01:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @HiLo48 - Various leaders of al-Qaeda and their associates have been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay since the early days of the Bush administration, on charges that they were the planners behind 9/11 alongside bin Laden. The U.S. government has brought up a criminal case against them and has purposely drawn it out so these terrorists have little to no chance of release. The death penalty or life in prison is what they were seeking, and there were also concerns that exculpatory evidence was being withheld. Today, indeed after 20+ years, a deal seems to have been reached where the terrorists have entered a guilty plea. It is the most significant movement in the case against the 9/11 terrorists in years. — That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 02:39, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- User:That Coptic Guy Thanks for that explanation. I'd suggest that some of what you've written there needs to be right up front in the article this nomination is based on. This is a global encyclopaedia, and a lot of readers will be like me, quite unaware of that background information. HiLo48 (talk) 03:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- Opppose There's a better argument to post when they're actually sentenced. Estreyeria (talk) 13:38, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The pleas seem unreliable as it seems well established that the accused have been subjected to extensive torture rather like Peine forte et dure. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Currently, the article does not indicate that they have actually pled guilty. Certainly we would not post people only "agreeing" to plead guilty. And even if they do plead guilty, they would still not have been sentenced. Gödel2200 (talk) 00:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

(Posted) Killing of Ismail Haniyeh
[edit]
Blurb: Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, is killed in Tehran. (Post)
Alternative blurb: Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, is assassinated in Tehran.
News source(s): The New York Times

- Wait Lets get some more detail and flesh out the article. Right now we don't know much at all. It's also worth noting that today/tonight Israel is believed to have killed a senior military commander of Hezbollah in Beirut. Kind of reminds me of the last 10 minutes of The Godfather when all of the family's accounts are settled. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:59, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Zero need for a separate death article, unless the actual operation that took him down is well documented. Save for a couple of tags, the main bio article is ready to go. (And this is pending confirmation that seems up in the air right now. And to add once more, if true, clearly notable and ITN appropriate beyond the current ongoings) --Masem (t) 04:05, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support Confirmed by Iranian sources, which are likely to be biased more towards Haniyeh and in favor of reporting him alive, but that is not the case. Apart from the legitimacy of this assassination, I strongly disagree with Masem in this regard and believe this should have a standalone article aswell as this marks the highest killing of a Hamas official/leader since the Israel-Hamas war started on October 7 and since the killing of Saleh al Arouri in January. Although it's very early right now to say anything about the killing, I believe as more time passes, more information will eventually be revealed as this is a huge event. Worst case scenario, if the killing is so poorly documented, I still believe it should have a standalone section in some article somewhere. Haniyeh has also held numerous positions other than just leading Hamas. TwistedAxe [contact] 04:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Unlike Killing of Osama bin Laden, where there is a great deal of discussion of the specific operation as well as the past attempts to kill him, all that is in the present article is 50% reaction material, 25% background, and the rest speculation as to the actual event. This is not how we write event articles, but we certainly can present the death as part of the biographical article. --Masem (t) 12:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Right, but I believe we’re still in the early stages and clearing the fog of war. If the dust settles and the assassination is still poorly documented, I’d say we put it under the Death section definitely. If, however, enough information is presented, I’d say we definitely keep the standalone article. TwistedAxe [contact] 14:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's not unreasonable to have kept the details in both the bio article as well as at least one of the overarching ongoing articles about this Gaza conflict, particularly the latter because it provides the necessarily context of the larger picture. And then if extensive details of the actual Assassination emerge later then create the standalone. But this reverse way encourages bad splits as the potential of POV forks, as well as poor quality articles in trying to isolate the event from the larger picture without clearly knowing if that split makes sense. This type of approach is contrary to NOTNEWS and doesn't make for high quality ITN material that we are supposed to feature. Masem (t) 14:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose on quality: Article still needs a lot more work in order to qualify for ITN. More information is also needed on the assassination. Support once all these issues have been addressed. Tofusaurus (talk) 04:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait - article is still developing/too short, and fog of war is still very much in effect w/ regards to exactly what happened (airstrike vs “raid,” official claims of responsibility, etc). Pretty much all that’s clearly confirmed at this moment is that he was assassinated in the first place. The Kip (contribs) 04:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support, per TwistedAxe. The article should be "Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh".--Dr-Taher (talk) 04:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support ITN worthy, but wait until more reporting comes in, then we need to add the cause of death to the blurb because the current one is too short Afif Brika1 (talk) 05:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh is just one small section of Ismail Haniyeh that was split out into its own stub for some reason. If this were fixed, then the main article would just need a little proseline clean up before it's ready. It's also developing a list of WP:INDISCRIMINATE trivia in the "responses" section as these articles often do, so that's another barrier. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- Post-posting conditional support - Disagree that NPOV issues warrant pulling, but agree with the above discussion that any blurb should specify he led the political bureau for clarity and accuracy. He was not the commander of the militant organization. The leader of the military wing, Mohammed Deif, is still alive. The average reader could plausibly assume "leader of Hamas" means the leader of the militant group, which is not accurate. An average reader might also assume that him being "the Hamas leader" meant he was the leader of the Gaza Strip, which is also an inaccurate reading as that person is Yahya Sinwar, who is also still alive. He was the highest ranking Hamas official killed in the war so far, but not important in the ways you might expect just based on his title. I do not support having it posted with the current blurb. Vanilla Wizard 💙 19:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

An armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups has been taking place chiefly in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel since 7 October 2023.
This outlier took place in Tehran, killing a non-militant. That's the way I see it, anyway. InedibleHulk (talk) 09:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

This should probably be combined with the blurb below, but I think the protests are only becoming larger and larger, and are now international news. Article is making good progress. Libertad! PrecariousWorlds (talk) 10:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support: This would obviously be better than a blurb only about Maduro's win. Article is small but is expanding. Prodrummer619 (talk) 10:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Perhaps reads more like a chronology, but well updated. And anecdotally, the BBC News report leads with the scale and severity of the protests, only saying "disputed re-election" as context - so I don’t think this needs to be combined with or wait for the election nom (below), it’s sufficiently standalone news. Kingsif (talk) 12:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I know that there are protests going on there, but just listing a bunch of events in a chronological order without anything else that indicates these are all tied together is not a quality article. --Masem (t) 12:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Surely we would combine this blurb with the blurb for the election, so this nomination probably can just be replaced by adding an altblurb to the nom for the presidential election. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I have added an alt blurb. Unfortunately I am not (as of this comment) satisfied with the quality of the main article on the elections. But I do think the situation in Venezuela merits a blurb on the main page. The protest article is adequate for posting. I have included an unbolded link to the article on the elections. Hopefully it will continue to improve. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Perhaps a combined blurb could be something like "Widespread protests erupt after Nicolas Maduro is declared the winner of Venezuela's contested (or "controversial") 2024 presidential election". PtolemyXV (talk) 15:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Added alt3. It can definitely be improved; death toll taken from the article, which could also be improved, especially after another day. Kingsif (talk) 20:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support National election results are noteworthy, and I think the quality of the article will continue to improve given the magnitude of the event. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 21:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the blurbs as politically charged, we didn't say it like that for the Rwandan election, even though it is more likely to have had irregularities, judging from the results. Also, wait for the protests to unfold further as they clearly been planned well beforehand, and the article is also largely currently only one-sided. Viva Nicolás (talk) 12:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Added alt4. There really is no need to append that the results are disputed - the protests themselves would indicate this. And I'm not sure the usage of "widespread" is needed here. But I do think this is to best, and works as a combined blurb. DarkSide830 (talk) 14:59, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support alt4, as it is more neutral and not politically charged i.e. imply which side the protests are on. Wait on article about the protests, as work needs to be done to ensure the article is not all on the anti-Chavista side. Viva Nicolás (talk) 23:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose in general; this article is not being developed, is woefully incomplete, the infobox is mostly OR, and I don't see any chance it is going to improve because of lack of effort. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I hope someone who speaks Spanish is checking this article; I don't have time. I checked only the last line on the current page, and found it wrong. In general, the article isn't mainpage ready and it doesn't appear that anyone is working to get it that way. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:45, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I copied my note on the July 29 listing here. These are some comments I would like to restate:
- IMO, I think the only thing in the way of this being posted is the flagrant political bias in both articles. I think I would like to work on this ^ - ^ --Viva Nicolás (talk) 04:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Remember when the 2019 Bolivian general election was overturned by protests when the opposition alleged they were rigged, but the 2020 Bolivian general election run under the coup regime definitively showed otherwise. Viva Nicolás (talk) 06:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The election article can be formatted like the 2019 Bolivian general election article, while the protests article can be formatted like the 2019 Bolivian protests article. Viva Nicolás (talk) 06:19, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support: The protests that have erupted due to the controversial and disputed election results Wilfredor (talk) 23:50, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

This has been a hit with our readers too as the top read article for several straight days now, beating the Olympics, the elections and the rest. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:03, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose ITN is not for these types of news. First of all, we do not post News items just because they are the most read one, that goes here. Second, R-rating is just a US specific rating and a large of readers probably do not know about it and therefore this record holds little value to them. Lastly, it is only the 6th largest opening in the US overall and around 12th biggest worldwide opening for any movie, so hardly a groundbreaking record. PrinceofPunjabTALK 11:07, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Not the type of business news we post, and to state this yet again, we do not use page views as a metric of whether we should post at ITN in the first place. --Masem (t) 11:57, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per PrinceofPunjab. Estreyeria (talk) 13:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per Prince of Punjab. This isn't the overall record, which is inevitably broken due to inflation. This is like saying there is a new tallest building in the world...well, the tallest that Americans under 17 can enter with adult supervision. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

The newly selected UNESCO World Heritage Sites are normally featured in the News here. Example can be left out or swapped, I think it is usually a wonderful addition. -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 09:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support After a huge emphasis on sports and politics lately, more cultural news are definitely appreciated! And this is certainly the most relevant of the past few weeks. Venustates (talk) 09:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe It's interesting, in the news and encyclopedic but there are over a thousand of these sites now and another 24 seems too many to be headlining particular cases. In the UK, it was the Flow Country which got attention. How do we decide which to feature? Andrew🐉(talk) 10:18, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I totally get that, that's why I said the example can of course also be left out, though it is nice to have a picturesque example included. But I wouldn't put much emphasis on that. Greetings, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 10:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- As I noted below, Ruins of Gedi is a GA and probably the highest-quality article of the sites selected, so it would be a good choice to feature with an image. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support with a picture of Ruins of Gedi, which is a GA and has the highest-quality article of the sites selected. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- The article looks good, no doubt! Though the Good Article batch is from 2017 already and criteria have become quite a bit more strict. Greetings, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 13:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

- The article looks good, no doubt! Though the Good Article batch is from 2017 already and criteria have become quite a bit more strict. Greetings, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 13:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This happens every year and sometimes more than once per year, and we never post them. This time there are more than 20, and overall more than 1000. What we post are removal of the sites because the countries have managed them badly. This comment coming from someone heavily involved with World Heritage lists ;) --Tone 13:17, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Certainly! At the same time, there are several things that happen every year or multiple times a year, like various sports events, or Oscar recipients (yawn ;) that are *always* posted. It's usually in all national news when a country gets a new World Heritage List entry. -- Venustates (talk) 13:37, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, I'll add that the list is factually inaccurate. For example, the Moravian Church settlements were listed in 2015 in Denmark. In 2024, the site was extended to include sites in the US, UK, and Germany. And yet, in the list, everything is listed as in 2015, which is incorrect. Oppose on quality, and on no prose. (but yes, I am all for posting good news) --Tone 03:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, if it is just about that very detail, how about just changing it in the article and we're good. :) -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 09:59, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support yeah, why not? I get that it hasn't been posted before but I think doing something different would be interesting. Blythwood (talk) 14:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on account more than anything else of not being sure the best way to blurb this. It's a routine event, but unlike an election, prize, or sporting event, there is no "winner". There is no overarching individual story here save the same sort that happens any individual year. Either we're just saying sites are announced (which isn't really news itself because, again, it's a scheduled event), or we're singling out one like in the original blurb, which is putting undue focus on whichever site we select to feature. DarkSide830 (talk) 15:03, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support It's nice to have positive news instead of the usual assassination, coup, plane crash, or natural disaster. Celjski Grad (talk) 15:06, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per above, nice to have something good in itn for once Sharrdx (talk) 15:17, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support A wonderful nomination! With regards to pics, we could feature several ones over the course of the days this stays on top. E.g. start with Gedi, then Schwerin, etc. until something else supersedes this. Should this make it, and be supported also in upcoming years, this could even be a regular feature for ITNR? Khuft (talk) 15:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- ITNR would be a lovely idea. However, I don't see how you can vote support when there's so little prose. Bremps... 16:46, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- I really like this idea; could be an excellent way to show off a bunch of our articles! ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 12:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nice idea! _-_Alsor (talk) 12:57, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on article quality. No stand alone article and in the linked page there is no prose, just tables. I'm not opposed on principle. But we need something with meat on it if we are going to be promoting this on the main page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality as there's zero prose. Will support when fixed. The Kip (contribs) 18:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle, with no comment on article quality as I haven't looked over any of them yet. I've added a second altblurb for consideration. Kurtis (talk) 18:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality I could see us posting this every year, but if the article has no prose, it simply can't be posted. Gödel2200 (talk) 20:16, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose for tabularity and because most sections start with numerals (ending without periods). InedibleHulk (talk) 21:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose but suggest transferring to featured list This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 22:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- You've been around long enough to know that "toss to x section" is an extremely poor argument. Curbon7 (talk) 01:06, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I really want to support given coverage of this has raised my spirits amongst everything else, but per The KIP and Ad Orientem we've declined much more urgent and pressing news in the past due to similar article quality and lack of prose. Schwinnspeed (talk) 02:08, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. This seemingly happens every year and there's nothing particularly remarkable about this one, particularly as we're not highlighting any of them in particular. Incremental statistics are rarely good ITN material. Obviously would need to address the lack of prose too to be even considered. — Amakuru (talk) 05:22, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Would it help to add some prose introduction to the Committee session in the article? Or rather integrate it in the World Heritage Committee article as an individual section that can be updated for every new session when new entries are publicly announced? :) Greetings, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 10:04, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Always cool, but there is no prose update! The section is just a table and that's it. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 12:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Absolutely no article would ever get posted if the only update to it was a table with no prose whatsoever attached, and this should not be an exception. -- Kicking222 (talk) 13:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per principle, as these kinds of news are nice and kind of rare, but I don't know about the articles though. Wish I had the time to polish them up, but I'll be working on the Venezuela articles foreseeably. Viva Nicolás (talk) 12:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I prefer this kind of content for ITN to the usual bleak mirroring of major news outlets' headlines, but the article is quite weak (just a list) and it's essentially something recurring annually by default, so not very strong on the newsworthiness scale, either.

- Oppose blurb language used and oppose for citations needed - I caution users to tame their chauvinism. Western media is very obviously biased on this matter. For decades, the West has sought regime change in this nation and election after election we see the West attempt to discredit elections in socialist countries in the Global South. It is frankly disgusting that Wikipedia is joining in this rather than critically assessing our sources for reliability. How many times must we watch as the US manufactures consent for a coup before we realize that we can't trust most US sources on this issue. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 05:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

- Repeatedly has been shown tht we're not going to try to call out sham elections or their ilk at ITN. We can use language how we say who won that implies that it was not democratic win, like we have done for the last Russian election, but it becomes a NPOV problem to suggest in the ITN blurb if the election is a sham; that's a topic left for the article in question. — Masem (t) 11:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's nonsense because numerous editors have supported the alt blurb as a standard signal to the reader that the election was not free and fair. So, we do regularly call out such sham elections in that way but it's too subtle -- we should be more direct rather than dropping hints.
- In any case, there are still the quality issues which are not resolved.

- Wait The National Electoral Council (Venezuela) has been offline and/or has a DNS problem since at least the last day or so, although some archived snapshots e.g. 28 July are available. As of the 2010s and 2020s, the electoral results coordinated by any national election commission, except for the internet-poorest countries, are normally published in full detail on the commission's website. Whether the reason for the website non-availability is attacks such as DDOS or tech incompetence or a desire to hide the results, the fact is that by the current standards of a national election, the results in the sense of open data are not yet published. There is currently only a "believe-us" XXth century style "result" announced by the CNE so far. The heads of many American states, such as Gabriel Boric, are putting pressure on the CNE to get the full results published. Waiting for a more serious release of the full results would make sense. Boud (talk) 21:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait Along the lines of what Boud said, in lay terms, the election result hasn't actually been called, Maduro has just said he's won. The opposition has not conceded, there are no results to show (some apparently have fully gone missing) - the last update from even Maduro's own commission is that vote counts will be coming soon. Kingsif (talk) 21:12, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose For now, as the results themselves are still unavailable in the article. Granted, the results aren't gonna be super shocking. Dyaquna (talk) 22:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Reliable sources are essentially unanimous in describing the election as neither free or fair. Therefore, Maduro being declared the winner is about as surprising as "water is wet". KlayCax (talk) 00:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait There should be something, however it ought to mention the dispute. This is major news.
- Metallurgist (talk) 01:38, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Update of blurb needed: While waiting for the CNE to announce the full results, the 2024 Venezuelan protests (probably not the best name, since there were probably other protests in Venezuela in 2024) are already 11 kb of source text just 5 hours after being created, so should be integrated into the blurb. Things could change fast depending on if/when the CNE publishes the full results or continues to refuse to publish them, so further updates might be needed. Boud (talk) 01:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, and had actually just come here to suggest much the same. —Cryptic 01:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Suggest nominating the protests as their own blurb. If the photo can be confirmed as free, it's also really good to go in the box. Kingsif (talk) 02:20, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

- We don't write personal opinions in Wikivoice, especially on the front page. Also, see 2024 Rwandan general election. Black Kite (talk) 09:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support altblurb2. That thing with words like "announced" or "declared" in dubious elections simply doesn't work, and I don't think our readers get the difference that a group of editors here wants to convey. Simply use "re-elected" and let the readers visit the article to find out the details. All winners are "announced" or "declared" no matter if the election was free and fair.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:58, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Most readers don't click through to the article. The main page gets about 5 million views daily but the number of readers that click though ITN links is only about 10K -- a tiny fraction. So, most readers will glance at or skim the main page and will just see the headline and the grinning picture of the tyrant/dictator/president-for-life. So, we should make the headline plain and clear if we run one because that's all most readers will see. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:27, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Why do you think that "announced" or "declared" makes it clear that the winner is a dictator or that the election was not free and fair? Why not extend the blurb to say that "X was re-elected in a dubious election"?--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:39, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- The result is disputed; for example, see Venezuelan opposition says it has proof its candidate defeated President Maduro in disputed election. In such circumstances of claim and counter-claim, it's not our job to pick a winner. All we might say currently is that there is unrest following a disputed election. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that the protests should be the main story now. My point was that the words "announced" or "declared" wouldn't make any difference. If we post that Maduro was "announced winner", we practically accept the announcement of the National Electoral Council, so we practically side with them and pick Maduro as winner. Note that the opposition rejects outright what the National Electoral Council announced as a result of the election.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 14:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. Since the focus is now on protests, I suggest alternative blurb:
- After disputed presidential elections, protests erupt in Venezuela. BilboBeggins (talk) 12:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is a good blurb, but the article quality for the protests is not there yet. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- The sources do not currently show which is more notable: the election or the protests, so putting both in bold would be better justified. Boud (talk) 13:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with this, but both articles currently are not of sufficient quality. So if one is improved before the other, we could just make that the target to start out. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support altblurb3 so a NPOV stance is mantained and the disputed nature of the election is highlighted. CVDX (talk) 22:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose altblurb3, we didn't say that when Trump claimed fraud, or put that into the same blurb. Wait for the protests to unfold further as they CLEARLY have been planned well before the elections took place. And, the article for the protests largely covers only one side. Viva Nicolás (talk) 12:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- ALT3 does not take a side on the fraud controversy, only points that they are disputed presidential elections... which they are, and it doesn't take a POV to say so Cambalachero (talk) 15:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- The Carter Center is convincing:

- and the OAS will speak today. Blurb III is best (but both of the Venezuelan articles are in much worse shape than indicted by the tags still on them -- it's very hard to even document all of the cleanup still needed). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:25, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- And this:
- Applebaum, Anne (31 July 2024). "Venezuela's Dictator Can't Even Lie Well". The Atlantic. Retrieved 31 July 2024.
In the hours after the polls closed, much of the international media had refrained from stating the obvious. 'BREAKING:,' the Associated Press tweeted on Monday. 'Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro is declared the winner in the presidential election amid opposition claims of irregularities.' But by Tuesday morning, it was absolutely clear that the election was not merely irregular or tainted or disputed: The election had been stolen.

- We are in a new cold war, and as per Coffeeandcrumbs, the mainstream media of one side will all portray the conflict in a certain way.
- See these two articles from an left-wing American media organisation:
- Macleod, Alan (30 July 2024). "Venezuela: While US politicians call fraud, American election observers endorse results". Mintpress News. Retrieved 31 July 2024.
I spoke to a person who is voting against Maduro, a professional who studied psychology in San Francisco. She was hopeful for change. But what was very significant was that she thought that the electoral process is free and fair. Overall, our impression of going to the various polling places was that people were very welcoming to us international observers, and were very proud to be out there voting for their country."
"People are happy and welcoming tons of foreigners to look and see what they are doing and explain it patiently, with confidence and real enthusiasm for democracy. Actually, I think that one of the reasons that there is so much cynicism in the United States about democracy is that people don't trust the system. And here, part of their enthusiasm is that they have a lot of confidence in their system, that their voice will be heard".
- Macleod, Alan (30 July 2024). "Solidarity from Palestine to Venezuela: Meet the Palestinians observing Venezuela's elections". Mintpress News. Retrieved 31 July 2024. Viva Nicolás (talk) 03:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- You should consider installing the unreliable source detector, as it instantly flagged your links as unreliable because Mintpress News is known to publish fabricated information regularly. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 04:54, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well, Mintpress published two articles on their blacklisting on Wikipedia. They and another major leftist news outlet TeleSUR, were blacklisted in 2019-2020 the context of the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis. You can read the article if you are curious:
- Macleod, Alan (30 July 2024). "Venezuela: While US politicians call fraud, American election observers endorse results". Mintpress News. Retrieved 31 July 2024.

- First of all, if anything, Wikipedia has a slight pro-left bias (like much of the internet). Second of all, it does not matter if they are a "leftist" news outlet. It matters if they are reliable or not. And the consensus on Wikipedia is that they are unreliable because they have been shown (with proof) to have routinely published fabricated information. Regardless, that is not even a discussion that needs to be had here - you can review the reasons the community decided it is so unreliable as to deserve deprecation at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 268 § RfC: MintPress News if you so wish. If you continue to act that source needs to be considered for anything, much less an irrelevant policy violating commentary about whether the protests are "legitimate" or not, it is not likely to bode well for your continued participation in the topic area/Wikipedia as a whole. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 05:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Mintpress stands no chance vs. Guardian (which is also left-leaning). BilboBeggins (talk) 06:09, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- And this:
- May I ask who planned the protests? Because they occured suddenly, opposition figures didn't ask for protests, they asked only for verified ballots to make the result of election transparent, because they know what are consequences for them. BilboBeggins (talk) 20:33, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Here it is:
- @Yvangil (July 29, 2024). "Venezuela strongly condemns the interventionist actions and statements of a group of right-wing governments, subservient to Washington and openly aligned with the most sordid ideological tenets of international fascism. These governments are attempting to revive the failed and defeated Lima Group in an effort to undermine the electoral results of the Presidential Elections held on Sunday, July 28, 2024. These elections resulted in the victory of Nicolás Maduro as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for a new Constitutional Term from 2025 to 2031" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
- The defendant providing this statement is enough to cast doubt on that the protests weren't pre-planned from the outside. Viva Nicolás (talk) 03:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- So, in one word... WP:FRINGE. Cambalachero (talk) 04:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- But the tweet itself and attached to the tweet is an official communique from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela. Viva Nicolás (talk) 04:42, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- You mean the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that's run by and subject to the whims of Maduro himself? Of course Maduro is going to try to delegitimize the protests regarding his attempt to falsify election results. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 05:15, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- And remember when the 2019 Bolivian general election was overturned by protests when the opposition alleged they were rigged, but the 2020 Bolivian general election run under the coup regime definitively showed otherwise. Viva Nicolás (talk) 06:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- Support altblurb3 if emphasis is changed. The elections article is mostly cleaned up (one cite check orange tag remains, which I can't fix), while the protests article is quite deficient. Altblurb3 works if the emphasis is changed from the protests article to the main article:
- After disputed presidential elections, protests erupt in Venezuela. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Many sources use the word contested rather than disputed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:32, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb IV looking like this is devolving into civil conflict, at least 11 dead in protests so far. Scu ba (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support altblurb3 due to the ongoing controversy and protests following the election. Highlighting the disputed nature of the election and the subsequent civil unrest is important to convey the full context to readers. Wilfredor (talk) 23:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support ALT3 or ALT4 - articles seem ready for posting now. The Kip (contribs) 18:20, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I've expanded the article out a bit; I don't think there are any unsourced statements anymore, but it's definitely still on the shorter side. I would add that the "sources" section, which seems to awkwardly combine a bibliography and a reference list, does not seem appropriate for the article in its current form and the bibliography side of it is basically unsourced, as it has no ISBNs or anything of the like.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 14:23, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Some ISBNs, etc. have started to show up, but the "Sources" section could use more tidying up. --PFHLai (talk) 15:29, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Appears to be well-sourced. Mooonswimmer 18:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Looks to be of sufficient quality. Scientia potentia est, MonarchOfTerror 21:05, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ready it is of great quality, marking it ready. PrinceofPunjabTALK 11:23, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support what the others said. I think the quality is at least as as good as all the others currently listed (and better than some actually). It has also more references than all but one of the others - Alexander Waugh (27), John Mayall (54), Jerzy Artysz (8), Eugene Sârbu (18), Randy Kehler (11), Wolfgang Rihm (45) Edna O'Brien (48, at the time of writing). It would be great to post that picture of her too. Sad to think that "the most gifted woman now writing in English" is no longer doing so. --Goevenonme (talk) 13:33, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment All the currently listed deaths are men. There have also been a lot of recent pictures posted of men. This includes here (currently), Biden (who was there for three days apparently), Nguyễn Phú Trọng (here), K. P. Sharma Oli (here), Paul Kagame (here), Trump (here), Masoud Pezeshkian (here), Keir Starmer (here)... that is much, much worse than I thought when I started to write this sentence, so I've stopped looking for any more - systemic bias towards male political leaders at play here? --Goevenonme (talk) 13:36, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Most of the photos that you mentioned were for political leaders where the nomination fell under ITNR (though the ones for Biden and Trump were not), so it is not at all surprising that they were featured. And all of them were for blurbs, so by virtue of them being blurbed, of course their picture will be featured. Unless you can show that female leaders are being deliberately left out of ITN, the claim that this has anything to do with systemic bias is completely unfounded.

- Nominated by 104.171.53.110 (talk · give credit)
Article updated
Current official death toll is at 12 as of time of writing. Although the scale of this attack is dwarfed daily by IDF bombardments of Gaza, I propose that we cover this particular story because:
- It is the single deadliest attack on Israeli civilians since October 7.[6]
- It is the single deadliest spillover incident of the war since inception.
- The attack was carried out in the context of a conflict with Hezbollah, which would make it separate from the Israel-Gaza war itself.
- Attacks by other regional entities (Iran, the Houthis, and Hezbollah itself) have not previously resulted in this number of casualties during the conflict.
- The article is expanded, well-written, and of a suitable length, with no citation needed tags.
For the above reasons, I hereby nominate this entry.
- Support as nom. 104.171.53.110 (talk) 08:55, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose for now. This is covered by ongoing, or should be, because it’s part of a wave of attacks against Israel by Iranian proxies, and the ensuing counterattacks by Israel. Jehochman Talk 09:44, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, covered by ongoing as direct spillover of the war. Also, if we specifically post attacks killing Israeli civilians but not those killing Palestinian civilians, we'll be having a pretty big NPOV issue on the main page. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 10:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait - Posting this may be a problem as pointed out above, as it naturally invites comparisons to civilian casualties in Gaza (though this could be considered more notable as there are less Israeli civilian deaths, it's still a POV problem). I think it's best to wait to see what the Israeli response is; if this escalates the conflict with Hezbollah it's definitely enough to post, but until then Oppose PrecariousWorlds (talk) 12:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This is covered by ongoing unless Israel responds in a major way. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not really. If it were a strike by the Palestinians, sure, but this was a strike by Hezbollah. This incident falls under the Israel-Hezbollah war, which is not in the Ongoing section. Bremps... 16:49, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per above (covered in ongoing), but particularly in light of what Chaotic Enby has said about the neutrality here. --Masem (t) 13:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as covered by the war, but also recommend speedy close due to WP:ECR. IPs aren’t allowed to nominate things like this. The Kip (contribs) 16:54, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @ScottishFinnishRadish, pinging for your opinion re: ECR closing here. The Kip (contribs) 22:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, this isn't an edit request, it's a submission to an internal process. At this point we're past closing, though. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:05, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @ScottishFinnishRadish, pinging for your opinion re: ECR closing here. The Kip (contribs) 22:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- In general I would support this, along with routine killings of civilians in Gaza. Both are significant and should be posted whether or not we have the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.VR (Please ping on reply) 20:35, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose covered by ongoing. Also, Victims section is sort of unorthodox on Wikipedia and I think fails WP:MOS. PrinceofPunjabTALK 11:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose. There is no reason to be linking to a useless, poorly written article about a few arsons when we have an actual article about the transportation that needs to be expanded. The whole point of Wikipedia is to provide summarized information in context, not to rewrite blow-by-blow accounts of each random thing separately every time you refresh the website of the New York Times. Will switch to support if this is redone as an update to Wikipedia content to reflect current events as ITN posts are supposed to be. And as a side note, it would be great if the closer could disregard any !votes about casualties since that's not a metric of significance on Wikipedia. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- If we're talking disregarding votes, maybe yours should be disregarded because you're using it as a soapbox to complain about the condition of a different article pbp 03:42, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Then you may wish to reread what I said. The only time I mentioned another article was when I suggested a merge target for this one. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:19, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is not some random accident like a landslide in the boondocks. It's multiple synchronised attacks targeting significant infrastructure of a major nation. It is thus comparable with the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines or the 9-11 attacks in the US. It seems to have been scheduled for the start of the Olympics but its impact goes beyond that as this is the start of the French holiday season when much of the country plans to travel.

It is thus comparable with the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines or the 9-11 attacks in the US.
What? An attack with no casualties is comparable to an attack with thousands of casualties that led to the War on terror? Gödel2200 (talk) 12:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)- If you're referring to Ethiopia when you say "the boondocks", that doesn't make what's happening there insignificant Dyaquna (talk) 15:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- The point is that the sabotage was not a "random thing" or Act of God. It was a coordinated attack in multiple locations. As these things go, it's quite unusual for there to be a synchronised attack in so many locations. 9-11 targeted three locations while this attack targeted five. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support halting services for over 800K people feels quite notable to me. This is quite a large attack, regardless of the lack of casualties. I understand the Crowdstrike incident is on a way grander scale than this will ever be, but as it is still an event that caused a halting on travel systems, we didn't stop that from being posted from a lack of deaths or injuries. CaptainGalaxy 23:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The attack has no casualties, and the article does not indicate that the impact is incredibly severe. In fact, the only 'impact' listed in the impact section was the British PM having to change his plans. Also the article is barely more than a stub. Gödel2200 (talk) 23:52, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support It's a common lead headline today: "Olympics sabotaged ... Hunt for Olympic saboteurs ... Far Left suspected ...". The disruption will continue throughout the weekend and its impact is countrywide -- much greater than some single accident such as the plane crash in Nepal. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support but wait. This is certainly a event to report on, but we should wait until the grammatical errors get resolved. MetaTalks (talk) 20:55, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- its technically "open" after Macron declared it open. MetaTalks (talk) 21:12, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support, notable and the articles are fine Personisinsterest (talk) 22:37, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support alternate blurb, if the arson attacks were connected to the Olympics Dyaquna (talk) 23:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I just skimmed a bit of the article and it was nowhere near ready as I immediately noticed several tense and grammatical errors. The article seems to be full of plans which may or may not have actually gone to schedule and it has no reaction or reception section to provide an assessment of what actually happened. Also, as noted below, the news coverage today has focussed on security and sabotage issues such as 2024 France railway arson attack and that seems more interesting. The appalling weather might warrant some attention though. For example,
Unfortunate that the pre filmed parts of this ceremony were done on a bright, clear day. It is making the jumps from live to video sections jarring in person and presumably on TV too. Rain hammering down now. Worried about the athletes! Three hours of this on a roofless boat and some of them are sleeveless. Going to be a shame to cancel the 100m final because the field was decimated by an outbreak of the sniffles.
- I'm still watching and was quite curious about the way they presented "Imagine". I find that we have a remarkably detailed article about piano burning and didn't realise that was a thing. Was that supposed to be the Olympic flame?
- And now there's a ghostly horse rider. Curiouser and curiouser... Andrew🐉(talk) 18:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with Andrew that to post this without noting the arson attack just prior would be a problem. But that can be fixed in the blurb. However, the opening ceremony article is nowhere close for what we've seen in the past. If we are going to post that arson article, that also needs expansion. Finally, should the quality improvements delay posting the opening ceremony for some time, we still try to go ahead and post the Olympics to ongoing, along with Chronological summary of the 2024 Summer Olympics, but that latter article is mostly unsourced at this point, which is not good either. --Masem (t) 18:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Masem and @Andrew Davidson, I've added an alt blurb unbolding the opening ceremony article and adding the arson attack, would that be better? DecafPotato (talk) 19:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, the event isn't over yet, we've yet to get the reactions and full news coverage and so it's too soon to finalise a blurb. And my objection was to the quality of the article not the blurb. The nominator hasn't made a single edit to the nominated article and so should be disqualified for a false start. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:31, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Masem and @Andrew Davidson, I've added an alt blurb unbolding the opening ceremony article and adding the arson attack, would that be better? DecafPotato (talk) 19:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm rather neutral on whether or not the arson needs to be included in the blurb- it's not as if this was a terrorist attack that led to deaths- but either way, the article is in pretty bad shape and is nowhere near ready to be posted. -- Kicking222 (talk) 19:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose mentioning the arson. The connection to the Games seems dubious at best. DarkSide830 (talk) 19:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support and altblurb2 - proposed new blurb without the arson attack, and without bolding the opening ceremony. This post should be about the start of the Paris Olympics. They've started now. Let's post. Main article is fine. The opening ceremony article can be filled up separately, but is not crucial - nobody participates in the Olympics just for the opening ceremony.Khuft (talk) 20:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support alt2 Oppose placing the arson attack in the blurb, as it does not seem to have had any effects on the opening ceremony. Currently the article for the opening ceremony has major sourcing issues, but we can instead link to the overall article for the olympics. Gödel2200 (talk) 20:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle, but oppose including the arson attacks in the blurb. The opening ceremony took place without any disruptions caused by those attacks (the rain made bigger problems than the attacks). That event should’ve been relevant had it directly affected this one, which is clearly not the case.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support ALT2 but oppose on quality. I don't personally believe the arson attacks to be overly significant, and their effects on the games has been minimal outside of transportation delays. All of the said, the Opening Ceremony article is in brutal shape - multiple orange tags and nowhere near enough prose on the events. The Kip (contribs) 22:37, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support ALT2 and put it in ongoing when it reaches the bottom. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 02:37, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- There are quite a few sections of tables that lack a single reference. Stephen 03:55, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I did actually look at this but saw that there are one or more references for those tables in the prose ahead of them (like with the venue section). It would be better if those sources could be repeated in the table header or otherwise some position closer to the tables to be clear where the info is coming from, but the sourcing is there. — Masem (t) 12:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Alt3 Opening article has too many problems so let's just not post it. Kcmastrpc (talk) 12:49, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality issues (notwithstanding ITNR). Too many CN tags on it. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 12:53, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- support it is hugely IN THE NEWS. not to mention the controversy over the transgender stuff, but that's an aside. then the chronology can be in the ongoing.Sportsnut24 (talk) 20:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support, we've listed the Olympics and world cup several times in the past and there's plenty of coverage of it. No reason not to list it Desfuria (talk) 23:31, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I will note that I have already added the Olympics as an ongoing on a temporary basis (as that article is fine, see the ongoing nom below) while there's still debate on the blurb and the quality of the opening ceremonies (which has always been posted in the past, and has always been of high quality, I don't know why this is not at that point by this case). Should we post a blurb, then the ongoing should be temporarily removed then. --Masem (t) 23:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Question What needs doing at 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony to make it post-able? Kingsif (talk) 03:35, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- It pains me to say but Oppose. It should be ready by now, but surprisingly isn't. PrinceofPunjabTALK 11:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Altblurb3 - let's not mention the Opening Ceremony then As it seems we won't be able to solve the issues with the opening ceremony article before this gets stale (and, let's face it, it's Monday now - the opening ceremony was on Friday), why not post just the Summer Olympics article itself? That one seems fine, as it's already featured on Ongoing. Khuft (talk) 15:36, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Blurb: A wildfire destroys the town of Jasper, Alberta, in Jasper National Park. (Post)
News source(s): BBC, The Guardian, CBC, Toronto Star
Credits:
So far, it appears no one has died due to proactive evacuations, and as such this might not meet ITN's death threshold for disasters. However, Jasper is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Canada's second-most prestigious national park--this is like Yosemite burning, destroying the park's infrastructure. The article still needs work, and officials still do not know the full extent of the damage. NorthernFalcon (talk) 20:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support but Wait I would agree with the significance, but the Jasper article barely mentions the wildfires, and the Wildfire article itself is just a stub... (And minor note: Jasper National Part is a UNESCO World Heritage site, not the town of Jasper itself). Khuft (talk) 21:17, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Given the number of fires up and down the whole PNW, it would better to have an overarching article on these rather than focusing on one. — Masem (t) 21:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. It wasn't the whole town. Footage shows the entire east side intact. It was maybe 20% of the buildings in the town. 104.171.53.110 (talk) 02:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as per Masem. It would be better to link to an overarching article for fires in North America. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 04:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as per MtPenguinMonster. 66.251.117.188 (talk) 06:10, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per all of the above. This is potentially notable as it has caused mass evacuations, but it's borderline and the standalone article is on shaky grounds. Also note that "death threshold" is just a bludgeon sometimes used to gatekeep the area and shouldn't be given any credibility. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Another summer in the northern hemisphere, another summer of wildfires. So far these are not extraordinary nor have they caused anything that is not unfortunately routine. And the town, as stated above, has not been completely destroyed. _-_Alsor (talk) 06:37, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Albertan here. It was very sad and tragic to hear about the destruction caused by the fire in Jasper. Unfortunately, this is pretty local news and wildfires like this occur every year, and only about a third of the buildings were ruined so its not like the entire town was destroyed. If something like this happened again somewhere more well known like Banff, or if the entire town was decimated, I would support it. Hungry403 (talk) 02:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose I have doubts that this article would even hold up if challenged for deletion given notability, though I know that isn't part of the criteria for RD. Either way the article is a really basic and doesn't establish why this person is any more notable than the other thousands of draft evaders from that era... the article should at least articulate that before it is ready for posting.RachelTensions (talk) 04:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- How is an airliner crash not notable? Aydoh8 (talk | contribs) 00:41, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- "No one notable" was involved in Malaysian Airlines flights 370 (went missing) and 17 (shot down by Russian-backed forces), that part of your reasoning doesn't work. But I am neutral on this since the crash is getting coverage but it also doesn't seem as notable as the usual blurbed crashes. Tube·of·Light 04:39, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

For precedent, see the Nepal Airlines Flight 183 (which had the same number of fatalities as this crash) nomination from 2014, which was not posted. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:12, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Somewhat perplexing calls for a wait until the cause is established. That's not how anything has worked ever, not ITN, not plane crashes. Are we going to keep waiting for the full report to come out in 2026? They've already said they don't know what happened.

- To clarify, what I'm saying is that unless a notable cause of the crash is established, I do not think this should be posted. I have updated my comment to specify this. Gödel2200 (talk) 17:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Usedtobecool, unless a notable cause of the crash is established, I do not think this is notable enough. Airplane crashes are relatively common in Nepal. For precedent, see the Nepal Airlines Flight 183 (which had the same number of fatalities as this crash) nomination from 2014, which was not posted. Integer123 (talk) 19:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- You're opposing per a user who never said they oppose this nomination? Usedtobecool is pointing out how Gödel2200's rationale is nonsensical and does not reflect how ITN works. And you copied Gödel2200's reasoning word-for-word, copying other people's arguments verbatim is not how ITN works, you need to phrase it on your own. Tube·of·Light 04:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: While the games formally opens on the 26th, the events have started in the last few hours. I think we should get it posted by the 26th so that people who search for the games will find it on the main page. PrinceofPunjabTALK 14:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Agree with nom that we should try to post it early. Currently the list of non-competitive venues appears to be unsourced. Gödel2200 (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support ongoing and initial blurb Article quality seems good enough for an initial post; will only expand from here. Kcmastrpc (talk) 15:08, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per above. Article seems to already be in fine shape, agree with nom re: events already underway. The Kip (contribs) 17:22, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait for the opening ceremony on Friday, which we will blurb per WP:ITNR#Multi-sport_events. Preliminary rounds in a small subset of sports aren't the story here. Modest Genius talk 17:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support posting now. I think it's irrelevant that the Opening Ceremony hasn't happened yet - the games are, in fact, ongoing as of now. DarkSide830 (talk) 17:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait none of these pre opening events will give final medals, it's just events that have multiple rounds that take more time to complete. Post the opening ceremonies and then when that rolls off, add to ongoing. Masem (t) 17:58, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also whole this will get to ongoing eventually, we will have four (effectively seven) items in it and will overflow to a third line. We should consider a removal such as the Sudan conflict at least while the Olympics are on there, and then read it afterwards, only as a maintenance issue, not for permanent removal. Masem (t) 18:26, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait until the opening ceremony, then it can be posted in ongoing alongside the blurb. Estreyeria (talk) 18:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support posting even before the opening ceremony. The chronological summary is perhaps a better target article.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 19:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support ITNR doesn't dictate exactly how we post this, and based on comments above I think it would be acceptable to put the chronological summary into ongoing now, wait to nom/post the opening ceremony on the 26th, and then add the main article to ongoing. And FWIW it's not just preliminary rounds, all of the rugby sevens games except the final will be played before the opening ceremony. Kingsif (talk) 20:26, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I'd actually suggest to run a blurb with the opening ceremony, wait until it rolls off the ITN, and then put it to ongoing. The opening ceremony is a big thing on itself. Provided the article is ok and all that. --Tone 20:57, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's what we usually do, right? Kingsif (talk) 22:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, that's usual. Stephen 22:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- That’s basically a very bad practice. In case there are very few blurbs to post in the next two weeks, this may not get posted onto ongoing at all. So, this should appear in ongoing independently from the blurb on the opening ceremony.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- If we post the opening blurb and no significant number of blurbs come around to knock it out, we can either prematurely send it to ongoing, or change the blurb away from the opening ceremony to just saying they are ongoing. We want a link to the games in the ITN box for the two weeks the games are officially open, it doesn't matter if it's a blurb or ongoing. Masem (t) 23:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced by that reasoning at all. The opening ceremony is one thing and the progress of the Olympics is another thing. That's why we should post a link to the games in the blurb on the opening ceremony and a link to the chronological summary in ongoing. Nothing precludes us from doing this. After all, it's the largest recurrent event in the world. Waiting to post onto ongoing is the biggest misservice that we can offer to our readers who wouldn't have a direct link to the event summary on the main page.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is still no reason that we cannot figure out a blurb for the opening ceremonies that includes a link to the games proper and perhaps even to the event summary. — Masem (t) 13:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- Wait per above. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled to be on the 26th, I think we should wait for that first (despite some Olympic events starting earlier). Officially, the Olympics will start tomorrow, surely this proposed ongoing item can be deferred for (at least) 24 hours more before it gets posted to that section. Vida0007 (talk) 15:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just post Not at the moment I am writing this but the admins might be seeing "wait" as the most recent comment by the time the Games actually starts. Bremps... 16:52, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait There should be a blurb for the opening ceremony first, then it should move to Ongoing. Pawnkingthree (talk) 22:54, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Security and Sabotage should be the emphasis of the blurb if we have one as these seem to have been the main focus of the news coverage today. See 2024 France railway arson attack, for example. The opening ceremony seems a damp squib as the ships, shows and spectacles seem rather tiny and insignificant in the setting of the Seine. The weather hasn't helped. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Opening ceremony looks pretty spectacular on TV, to be honest. Disagree that the arson attack should be the focus of the post - seems to be minor in the grand scheme of Olympic things. Khuft (talk) 20:01, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- To quote an external source: "There's never been a show like this! Opening ceremony is spectacular" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) Khuft (talk) 20:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- YMMV. The New York Times lead headlines are currently: Opening Ceremony Floats Down Seine; Paris Investigates Rail Sabotage The ceremony is being held under rainy skies. Earlier, coordinated attacks disrupted high-speed train links to Paris, delaying over a million travelers. The rail sabotage was carefully planned to cause maximum disruption on what was supposed to be a day of glory for France. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support ongoing, even if concurrent with a news blurb (which may or may not mention the arson). I don't see a reason why it can't have both at the same time. QueensanditsCrazy (talk) 10:20, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Immediate Support. The games have opened with competition already in progress. In fact, the first medals have already been awarded. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 13:59, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Can we get this posted into ongoing? As the above editor said, the games have already started. It seems like the opening ceremony article is in bad shape, so that may not get posted for a while. Natg 19 (talk) 19:10, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have added this article to ongoing, though if the opening ceremony one is improved, then it should be temporarily taken off. However, I have not added the Chronology article at this time as it is in far worse state from a sourcing standpoint (I know it will be filled with results, but the planned events should still be sourced before then). --Masem (t) 19:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I took the time to add the six missing refs (for the pre-opening day summaries) and have added the chronological article as the timeline to the ongoing — Masem (t) 23:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

The long list of factions makes amusing reading though -- see precedent... Andrew🐉(talk) 08:57, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Gödel2200 (talk) 12:13, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support on notability, oppose on quality. The hottest day in modern history so far! Sadly, it's pretty much a yearly occurrence by now, so I wouldn't be surprised if it gets discussed for ITN/R. Last year's record was mostly supported, although it didn't end up being posted mostly because of quality issues. This time, the article hasn't been updated yet (and isn't linked in the blurb), so that should be done first. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:11, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- If this is going to be a yearly occurrence, I would oppose posting for that reason. Hottest day ever is merely trivia. Natg 19 (talk) 23:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think any of the three linked articles are suitable for bolding. Bremps... 23:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Without action, a record likely to broken within the year, and its not appropriate to keep posting that over and over. Obviously critical for trying to promote the need to fight climate change and the like, but its also along the lines of fearmongering; if we are going to post stories like this, I would rather go for anything that qualifies a much longer period of time (like I'm sure there were stories of 2023 being the hottest year on record). --Masem (t) 00:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose — Per Masem. I object to including any climate blurbs because it is a continuous record; Earth is warming every single day, month, and year. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 05:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I get the point that it's a continuous record and climate changes every day, but I'm wondering what kind of news related to climate change we should post. There are tons of news in reliable sources on the topic virtually on a daily basis that we don't post. At the end, if it's really a never-ending ongoing story, just post it there and keep it for good. According to the mainstream science, the estimated global losses as a result of the climate change are many times greater than the effects of the military conflicts currently posted onto ongoing combined. Another option is to put a box on the main page like we did for the COVID-19 pandemic, which would include links to relevant articles related to climate change.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose – The update to the article is insignificant. I'm honestly hoping that at some point we can feature a climate change-related update like this, but we'd need a few paragraphs talking about why the specific date/week/month is so standout. Combined with a deadly heatwave in many regions I can see this work, for example. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per Masem. This record is likely to be broken again within the year. In addition, the update to the article in question is one line. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 08:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Monday, July 22, is now the hottest day on record, surpassing Sunday. CBS News Johndavies837 (talk) 08:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- The content's obviously not up to scratch, but I reject the notion we shouldn't post this merely because we expect to have to do it again in a year. That doesn't stop us posting the Superbowl, or the Nobel Prizes, or the Academy Awards every year. Shorter-term increases - as we just saw for the 22nd - are likely to be soon enough that they could be handled with a blurb update. —Cryptic 11:46, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- If we were reporting that 2023 was the hottest year on record, and then the same for 2024, and 2025, that would be less an issue. Single day records however could be more frequent (as Johndavies points out, this story is already outdated) and can also reflect spikes in weather patterns. That's why a long-term average, that normalizes out all such spikes, is far better to be a metric we consider. (Also, those recurring stories are because there are extensive articles that are developed for each occurance, while this is just an update to an existing article) — Masem (t) 12:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Single-day records tend to be clustered around July at the peak of northern hemisphere summer (something about having more landmasses and less thermal inertia in the northern hemisphere, I believe?), so they won't tend to happen all throughout the year. The last one was also in July 2023, for that matter. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- But you would also have "hottest <specific date> on record" type of news, like hypothetically an average of 100+ degF worldwide on Jan 21st. Which still can be seen as a potential statistical anomaly. If we are going to post these, the more conclusive story is a record annual average temperature which takes out the spikes and dips.

- Oppose as the record has already been broken (the very next day). Source: https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/world-breaks-hottest-day-record-second-day-row-2024-07-24/ Jiaminglimjm (talk) 14:52, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I believe it'd be notable if it ever goes in the other direction (down). Kcmastrpc (talk) 15:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. Climate change is an important topic, but the real issue is the trend, not single-day records. We've posted the IPCC reports as important studies of the changing climate, which I agreed with. Record days / weeks / months are by their very nature outliers and with the overall heating trend they'll be repeatedly broken. I don't think ITN should be posting numerous blurbs saying essentially the same thing. There could maybe be a case for hottest year, because that would enforce at least 12 months between blurbs, which is more manageable. But even then, I find it difficult to imagine what the article updates might be. Other than stating the record, what more can be said? Modest Genius talk 15:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Blurb: U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the new presumptive candidate for the Democratic Party in the 2024 presidential election (Post)

- Oppose Biden's resignation from the race was big news... this is not. Noah, BSBATalk 15:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose And why Kamala and not Trump? And why Kamala and Trump and not all the candidates making campaigns for the 2024 US election? And why not do the same with all candidates on presidential campaigns elsewhere? Better keep the can of worms closed, and just post the results when the elections are over. Cambalachero (talk) 15:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the posting of Bidens withdrawal was absolutely extraordinary and imo shouldn't have been posted. US bias all over. This is obviously too much. No. Just no. Bedivere (talk) 16:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Add to the Biden blurb now that he has endorsed her candidacy and she now inherits their joint ticket. Note also that Harris's article is getting way more readers than Biden, Trump or the Olympics and so it's clear that her candidacy is major news and that readers are keen to find out more about her specifically. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:29, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, seriously no. _-_Alsor (talk) 12:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose What was notable for ITN was the historic nature of Biden withdrawing, not Harris being endorsed (and, as the proposed blurb says, she is only the presumptive nominee), so this should neither have a blurb nor be combined into the Biden blurb. Gödel2200 (talk) 12:59, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. We should never have posted the Biden story in the first place, which happened in a rush overnight (while the US was awake) and closed before many users had a chance to comment. ITN should post the results of elections, not wrangling over who the candidates will be. I don't think we should compound the error by adding various updates to that blurb. Besides, Harris hasn't even been officially selected yet. Modest Genius talk 13:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per everything above. We don't need to post every detail of the US election campaign. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Article is a bit barebones, but I have no doubt that the deadliest landslide in Ethiopian history (with over 200 dead) is notable. I'd say post after improvements are made to the article. Bremps... 19:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- Article has been improved since, quality is definitely enough. Should be ready to post. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:19, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Unfortunately, this is unlikely to see much possible expansion - an unexpected landslide happened, hundreds die but it happened in a third-world country that media tend to ignore (it suffers from the "if a tree falls in a forest" syndrome). Even the Reuters article is about as short as I've ever seen one. Clearly notable if expanded. --Masem (t) 00:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support on notability
The article has two cn's,but appears to be just long enough to get posted. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC) - Support. Major effect as record-setting landslides in the country with two villages essentially removed from the map. Article is expanded and well-cited enough to be somewhat useful. Would be even better if someone were to remove the pointless "response" section. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm agnostic; I added it there to pad length to get it posted when it was a stub. Information on rescue efforts is definitely needed, but maybe expressions of sorrow can be removed. Bremps... 19:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

- Note that the 21 July protests are currently still described in the future-tense. I see potential here, however. Overall the article looks good and would be a fine feature. This is probably a natural peak for the protests this year? ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:24, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Leaning support if we agree to include purely domestic news, let's be congruent and always do so. For this reason, this news is ITN-worthy, as these are protests that have taken place in large Spanish cities, in relation to a basic economic sector of the Spanish economy and with international repercussions (and even concern: cruise companies that want to avoid boarding in Barcelona or Mallorca, etc.). Article may need some work. _-_Alsor (talk) 09:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support notability nice article but could really do with an infobox. Abcmaxx (talk)
- Oppose the larger archipelago protests were in April and May, and this is late July. The recent protest of 20,000 out of a population of about 1 million in a nation of 50 million is just... not particularly major? A sense check in Reuters does not give me any news articles in the main page - the only one about Spain in there is about the corruption investigation. Juxlos (talk) 10:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not saying you didn't do that search, and I don't have an opinion on if this gets posted (though I nominated it for DYK before it was put here, to give you an indication), but Reuters posted this two hours before your !vote. A search for "Palma protests" should bring up today's coverage. Kingsif (talk) 11:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Currently, there are only two paragraphs in the article about protests occuring in July. The first one only says "In July 2024", so it may be that that protest is stale. The second paragraph describes a protest happening on 21 July, but the only effects of the protests seem to be "plans to raise the tourist tax on cruise ship visitors to the city staying less than 12 hours," which hardly seems significant enough for ITN. Gödel2200 (talk) 12:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- The first protests were the first week of July, they're stale. Of course, the article's 10 paragraphs total, how much more would you have written about one protest without going into NOTNEWS territory? Kingsif (talk) 13:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- What I'm saying is that if the protests were significant enough for ITN, then there would simply be more to write about them, particularly in regards to the effects of the protests. Currently the effects do not seem that significant. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose. Not a particularly large or impactful protest. Just last week there were more substantial protests in protests in Bangladesh, and last month protestors stormed Kenya's parliament. Both have caused numerous deaths and changes in government policy, while attracting substantial international coverage. In contrast, the protests in the Canary Islands have been small, peaceful, and generally local news. Also, the Reuters article linked to above says there were about 10,000 protestors, not the 'more than 20,000' claimed in the blurb. Modest Genius talk 13:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose whilst there have been some interesting articles about the protests e.g. BBC, the impact of these protest isn't enough to meet WP:ITNSIGNIF. Right now there are a few thousand protesters and the impact of the protests looks to be low i.e. it's not currently causing a substantial change to anything. If the scale or impact changes in future, then and only then might this meet ITNSIGNIF threshold. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:03, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

There was no consensus for it when it happened last week and there's no justification for posting it now. If it were to he posted, it should have been when it was in the news, and I and many others opposed it at that time.

Not ready. The article has no prose whatsoever about the course of the race i.e. what actually happened. Tables are not sufficient - there needs to be referenced prose.FWIW, if/when this is brought up to standard, I prefer the original blurb that specifies the race winner only. Modest Genius talk 11:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- There is now prose summarising up to stage 13, of a 21 stage race.
That's progress but still not postable.Modest Genius talk 15:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)- Support The prose has been expanded and now covers the whole race. It looks good to post now, striking out my previous concerns. Modest Genius talk 18:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is now prose summarising up to stage 13, of a 21 stage race.
- Support. Widely considered the most important event in bicycle racing. Ready for posting: a summary of the race is given, together with detailed data on the participating teams, stages, and classifications. Ajgorhoe (talk) 13:24, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I don't see any prose summary of the race in the article. There's just four unreferenced sentences in the lead (not verified in the body) and data tables.Modest Genius talk 13:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- (edit conflict) Ajgorhoe there isn't a summary of the race on 2024 Tour de France, there is 0 prose text summarising the race outcomes. Tables for classifications are not substitutes for a proper prose text summary, and is required by WP:ITNQUALITY . Joseph2302 (talk) 13:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- It needs something like 2023 Tour de France#Race overview which had 10 paragraphs of text summarising each stage (this one did get posted), not a few lines of mostly unsourced text in the lead section. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Weaksupport. The prose summaries of each day's play are brief but present and do meet our minimum requirements. Referencing seems fine and this is on ITNR. As seems to be common in golf articles, there is excessive detail on the qualifying process, which I've tagged. I would prefer if that was shortened or split to a sub-article, but that's not vital. Otherwise this seems good to go. Modest Genius talk 11:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- I've just noticed that the 'venue' section is unreferenced, which should be easy to fix.

Worth noting that one of the purposes of ITN is "To help readers find and quickly access content they are likely to be searching for because an item is in the news." With that being said, we should perhaps wait a little bit to settle on a blurb and polish the target article. Gust Justice (talk) 19:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

As user @AirshipJungleman29 pointed out, this has not happened since 1968. An incumbent president not even seeking re-election! Of course, a major event happening today in which the most powerful political office in the world has had a major shakeup.

- Slightly Oppose I sort of understand the reason to post, since there has already been a lot about Biden running to continue his term (including a presidential debate), however, since he didn’t accept the nomination already, he technically wasn’t the party’s candidate yet. Plus, as mentioned, he’s not resigning, he’s just not continuing. If it was a resignation or a removal from power, it would be important.

SupportOppose By itself, being domestic politics doesn't automatically mean it shouldn't be featured at ITN (see WP:ITNCDONT,Oppose an item just because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one
). However, if it happened in another country, it would very much not have been blurbed, as it is one more campaign development rather than a definitive result, so posting it would risk reinforcing the Euro-American bias already present on ITN. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:32, 21 July 2024 (UTC)- @Chaotic Enby: I'm struggling to think of any other country this - a leader withdrawing their candidacy during the election campaign, but remaining in power until the end of their term - has happened in. The closest I can think of is John Howard announcing at the start of the 2007 Australian election that if he won he would immediately step down and make Peter Costello prime minister, but even that isn't quite the same thing, as he was still running from Prime Minister.
- I genuinely think that we would post this for any country in the G20, at the very least.

- Support per WP:IAR. Yes it's pre-election news, yes it's to do with candidacy, but it's undoubtedly the biggest news and it's what people are looking for. BBC News on television is frozen on this story ever since it broke, so it's hardly a parochial US story (I don't know on what planet the US president is a local-only story). Don't tell me that people are also looking for Taylor Swift or the latest Netflix releases, this is undoubtedly not the same tihng. This involves the incumbent president, it is extremely late in the electoral cycle, making it unprecedented as to what happens next. To my knowledge, the last time the incumbent pulled out was LBJ, who did so very early in the primaries, thus allowing the Democrats to elect their candidate the standard way. Unknown Temptation (talk) 20:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I was unsure if this would be nominated or not, I thought someone might try it and it would be SNOW closed quickly, so genuinely gobsmacked to see this with support.

- Well, it's rendered more newsworthy because of the last-minute decision and the will-he-won't-he speculation of the last few weeks. Everyone's talking about the story now. But ultimately, objectively it's just a detail in the candidate selection process for the election. If Biden had chosen not to run back in January, would we have posted that? If Trump were to unexpectedly pull out now, would we post that? He's not standing down as president. I just think anything about the internals of an election is, from the point of view of ITN, minutiae.

This event is very important to one country, one that just happens to be over represented on this website.

- Weak oppose I'm not really convinced of the significance of this. If he were resigning as president I would surely support, but withdrawing from an election isn't really any more significant than the results of primaries or other internal party matters which aren't ever posted, only the result of the actual election. I don't think there's much reason to believe the course of the election will radically change with a Trump victory still most likely.

Incumbent president François Hollande of the Socialist Party (PS) was eligible to run for a second term, but declared on 1 December 2016 that he would not seek reelection in light of low approval ratings, making him the first incumbent head of state of the Fifth Republic not to seek reelection
, which happened five months before the election. BugGhost🦗👻 23:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)- yeah but Hollande didn't campaign for months and drop out just days before his parties convention. Scu ba (talk) 23:18, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I was referring to to
- Not "unprecedented in modern times", it happened in France in 2017 (which did not receive a ITN then either) BugGhost🦗👻 22:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Gigantic news for sure, but I really don’t think we’d be posting this if it wasn’t the USA, and that’s not good enough for me.The Kip (contribs) 22:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)- The global coverage, later arguments, and the firsthand experience of visiting the White House literally six hours after the news broke only to witness Australian, British, Indian, and Turkish news crews on site, not even just Americans, has made me realize how ridiculous this sentiment was. Change to post-posting support. The Kip (contribs) 03:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Gigantic news for sure, but I really don’t think we’d be posting this if it wasn’t the most powerful country on the planet
yeah okay dude Scu ba (talk) 23:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)- US politics have wide-ranging repercussions on the rest of geopolitics as a whole. It is hardly surprising that this is world news. This isn't a US-centric, favored news story by any means. — That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 23:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think we're here to post "Gigantic news for sure". Bremps... 00:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Whether or not there is precedent, one must acknowledge the global political influence of this event. This one is a no-brainer. Ludicrous (talk)
- Weak support I get the argument that it was an event in the lead up to the election which is why I am not fully supportive of it, however I believe that it is notable due to the nature of this election cycle being so widely covered internationally. News outlets everywhere have been talking about how Biden has stepped down and even in the lead up to it most major international news outlets were publishing articles about his current state. Joecompan (talk) 22:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support It's a significant event which has global implications. Blurb IV reads well. --Voyager 1 Low Battery Alert (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral Yes it has significant global implications, but so did other events that fail to get posted. This also happened 56 years ago, or 14 election cycles ago. I’m not going to oppose it but this is a bit UScentric.108.58.27.76 (talk) 23:05, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as per KTC and Mika1. Sharrdx (talk) 23:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support It’s the 1st time that an American presidential candidate has withdrawn after securing enough delegates to win their party’s nomination, so it’s a unique event. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 23:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Many if not most national news organizations around the world will mention this event, as it is an impactful. This fits "in the news" criteria. -- IlyaHaykinson (talk) 23:37, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support alt2 or alt3 To anyone who thinks this does not have an effect beyond US borders, consider this: this may result with Donald Trump being re-elected. Do you think that won't have world-wide repercussions? -- llywrch (talk) 23:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support some blurb, and this is not being posted as an electoral result, it is being posted as news. The literal top story across the entire god damn world lol. Israel is at war and it’s the top story at Haaretz (Hebrew and English) and Times of Israel for example. Top story at Le Monde (English and French). Top story at Corriere della Sera (Italian). This is very obviously in the news, the article is well developed. This is a no brainer. nableezy - 00:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per this comment. Bremps... 00:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. Seems like a case of systemic bias. Someone who was hoping to become his party's nominee is no longer running for the nomination; this is a couple steps removed from the election itself. It's hard to imagine we would be considering this for ITN if it happened in any other country. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 00:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Mx. Granger "hoping to become his party's nominee is no longer running for the nomination". This is an extreme understatement. He had no one against him, he is the incumbent. The fact he would have became the party's nominee was a forgone conclusion. Until he was pressured to drop out that is, but if he wanted to continue he would have got the nomination. NamelessLameless (talk) 00:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support (slight preference for Alternative blurb VI, but all are acceptable) for what I'd hope would be obvious reasons. This is a not-quite-but-almost unique event in American politics. Incumbent presidents generally don't drop out at the 11th hour. Joe (talk) 00:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Big news world wide. That should be the only criterion for ITN. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:19, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support, this is a very unusual development in a political race of international importance, and is receiving wide coverage both inside and outside the US. I would support either blurb V or VI, there should be a link to Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election. Tisnec (talk) 00:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'll second that we should include a link to the Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election page. Joe (talk) 00:41, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- The Afd has ended, so we can link it now. Gödel2200 (talk) 01:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
That page currently is at Afd. Until that ends, we cannot link it in the blurb. Gödel2200 (talk) 00:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- @Gödel2200: AFD has been closed as “no consensus possible”. The article is now eligible for ITN. DrewieStewie (talk) 01:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- The Afd has ended, so we can link it now. Gödel2200 (talk) 01:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Support due to media coverage. ITN/R doesn't cover this, but well, this isn’t exactly common occurrence. Juxlos (talk) 00:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose As a matter of principle, I do not think we should be posting ITN matters on the basis of American exceptionalism/chauvinism. At the end of the day, this is a matter of intra-party political campaigning. Curbon7 (talk) 01:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as per previous commenters. In my opinion American internal politics are generally given undue weight on the front page and this is just another example.David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 01:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Whether people like it or not this has never happened in American history. Presidents have had their heads blown off. Presidents have died in office. Presidents have lost re-elections. Presidents have chosen not to seek re-election when their term ends… but never suspended their campaign 4 months before the election completely changing the entire election itself. Yes this is ITN. Trillfendi (talk) 01:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- The contents of the "Purpose" section at WP:ITN, reproduced for convenient reference (emphasis is mine):
To help readers find and quickly access content they are likely to be searching for because an item is in the news.
To showcase quality Wikipedia content on current events.
To point readers to subjects they might not have been looking for but nonetheless may interest them.
To emphasize Wikipedia as a dynamic resource.
- I note that this appears to me to lack such objectives as, "Taking some kind of stand that, people on the English-language Internet focus on US politics and current events too much (a perhaps relevant observation here is that the US is by far the most-populous country where English is the dominant first language) and therefore, to Send A Message we pointedly are going to refuse taking note of those things at times. However we're not going to tell you, the general public who has no idea about the 'back rooms and hallways' of the project where decisions get made, that this is in fact what we are doing. Thus any of you showing up at the main page, might scratch your heads briefly thinking it's a bit curious that one section there doesn't mention that, but hey whatever there's probably some issue with the site or something", before hitting your favorite search engine to seek more information on the topic.
- I also note a lack of such purposes as, "Not mentioning the 'internal processes' and events which lead up to a general election in a country, but solely noting the ultimate outcome, to convey some sort of message that the final outcome is the only thing people ought to focus on". Or, that, "Domestic political events are not a matter of concern to ITN and its readers". I confess I find this reasoning especially perplexing: are not all elections and changes of government within a single country, definitionally, "domestic political events"? About the only political occurences ITN would note under this standard would be international ones, such as elections to the European Parliament and those within transnational bodies such as the United Nations and African Union. A consistent application of this principle seems to me to extend well beyond things like elections; if a civil war broke out in the US tomorrow, the same principle, to me, would seem to logically imply ITN making no mention of that as well, it being purely a domestic political squabble. (The lead sentence of civil war:
A civil war[a] is a war between organized groups within the same state (or country).
) --Slowking Man (talk) 01:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC) - Support: This is clearly a unique event, and we shouldn't bind ourselves to conventions. I can understand why we don't want to document every campaign event, but this isn't just some candidate dropping out. The incumbent US president and presumptive Democratic nominee dropped out after the primary process, later than any presidential nominee in history. This is a monumental shift in US politics. Use common sense. BappleBusiness[talk] 01:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: In Argentina we have seen even weirder things happen, such as the likely candidate Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (basically, the local Trump) refusing to run in 2019 at the last minute and appointing instead a candidate with a tweeter post... a candidate that, up to that point, was a vocal critic of her. And in 2023, the president refused to run for reelection (just like Biden now) and the candidate was instead Sergio Massa... the minister of economy of a country just about to fall to hyperinflation, running for president (and he even had chances). And none of that circus was featured ITN. I doubt either was even proposed, because it would be a SNOW close. In comparison, what Biden is doing here is trivial. Cambalachero (talk) 01:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- ^^^^^ This... -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support Let's not kid ourselves. This is NOT a run-of-the-mill campaign event. This is an unprecedented development that will shake the news cycle in the U.S. and around the world for the next week at least. I am honestly surprised that people are willing to let it slip because of a mere technicality. Zelkia1101 (talk) 01:58, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support: Very notable event that the president of the United States decides midway through the campaign to drop out of the election. The last time this happened was in 1968. --A.S. Brown (talk) 02:06, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Per most of the supports above. Top news at the moment, and very unusual for an incumbent U.S president to not run for reelection. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 02:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose proposed blurbs for now. Reading the above comments, it seems that a majority of supporters and American Wikipedians have to explain the timing, context, and detailed procedures of the US presidential election system in order to argue why this is significant for ITN. Because reading the proposed blurbs at face value, that significance is not really clear to those who currenty oppose or who are non-American Wikipedians. That is a bad sign. A more lengthy blurb would thus be required to include this level of detail--much longer than what would normally be on ITN I'm afraid. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- As someone who, not to toot own horn but, would judge myself pretty knowledgeable regarding US politics and government (hey ask me what I got on the AP US History exam
), a simple "Joe Biden, the incumbent president, withdraws from the 2024 election" is completely fine and accurately descriptive. Omit needless words: one important property of a blurb is it's supposed to be brief. Folks he is not going to now mount a new third party campaign (and if he actually does, we can blurb that as well if it gets sufficient news attention). If readers want more details that's why the links in the blurb are there, for said readers to follow to articles containing details. The links aren't there to just break up the monotony by splashing a little color around the text. - Unfortunately as generally occurs with any Potentially Controversial Topic where people have differing views (such as, what to write in sn ITN item), "consensus decision-making" fails here to bikeshedding: people express fifty different irreconcilable wishes of their own—there can only be one single blurb text and it's not going to be, every desired blurb all mashed together so everyone is happy—and thus without one or more people given power to make a binding decision, no one does anything and so status quo inertia "wins" by default. (And thus, all the people favoring that; "we should not do X and should do nothing" is a position just as much as "let's do X" is!) That is why every admin is cowering in a hole right now, because they all know if they post any blurb they will promptly have the anger of dozens of people displeased with their action trained upon them. Suggestion: perhaps a panel of three or so admins ought to take on making a decision on this ITM candidate, and all providing their rationale somewhere in public. Slowking Man (talk) 02:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, not every admin (he writes after posting the article and reading the comments that came in after he started writing the rationale). But normalizing panels may not be a bad idea. Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:22, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Timing is a key factor in a vast majority of news, is it not? The reason for notability is time. Comparing to 1968, as mentioned previously, LBJ dropped out months before the Democratic Party's nominating convention. That's news, but is the sort of "interparty politics" that we wouldn't post here. But it's really not interparty politics when we can reasonably conclude that whoever is nominated by the Democrats was/is going to finish at least 2nd, possibly 1st in the election. This has the potential to be a massive shake-up, and at minimum is not something that has happened before. DarkSide830 (talk) 03:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- As someone who, not to toot own horn but, would judge myself pretty knowledgeable regarding US politics and government (hey ask me what I got on the AP US History exam
- Strong support This is front-page news for Le Monde, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the BBC and El Pais, and those are the only ones I bothered to check. All of them are running this as their main story. People saying that this is internal party politics in one country are missing the point. This is a momentous occasion in world politics, not just American politics. MAINEiac4434 (talk) 02:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support The section is called In The News, and not just is this in the news, it IS the news, period. Everyone saying "internal US politics" is ignoring the fact that it's the top story everywhere else on Earth, too. -- Kicking222 (talk) 02:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose In the end what matters is who wins the election. Call the scenario where Biden does not withdraw and Trump wins "Scenario A". Biden withdraws now, and (presumably) Harris becomes nominee. Trump wins anyway. Would the result be different from Scenario A? If not, then I don't see why this is worth posting. Banedon (talk) 02:30, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support A very unusual and important event that is front page news almost everywhere. Noah, BSBATalk 02:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Posted a shortened alt6: In my view, the arguments that support posting this news have made much stronger points than those in opposition. I was particularly swayed by those who pointed out that Biden's decision has had truly substantial global coverage in some of the world's largest news outlets thanks to its ability to impact a large number of countries, all of which speak to WP:ITNSIGNIF. I would also highlight Slowking Man's ruminations about WP:ITNPURPOSE and how it relates to this story. Conversely, I did not see as many strong arguments in opposition—especially from those who opposed this based on it relating to a single country, which contravenes a very explicit bullet point in WP:ITNDONT. In addition to all that, while this is a consensus-gathering discussion, the pure numbers approach 2:1 in support (I counted 73 supports, including the nominator, vs. 34 opposes; please forgive me if I'm off by one or two.) Finally, the article currently has a single clarification needed tag, which is not major enough to prevent posting. Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- To the blurb itself: I shortened it to focus on Biden withdrawing from the entire campaign, as that got the news across without what I saw as unnecessary complexity. It could also be rephrased along the lines of our article and say that he "withdraws from the 2024 presidential election" rather than ending his campaign. I have no objection to any modification proposals here if soon, or please send them to WP:ERRORS if later. Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Admin comment – I've cast my eye over the discussion a couple of hours back but work pulled me back from looking at WP. I had come to the same conclusion as you, The ed17. Schwede66 03:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Schwede66: Wondered about that. Thanks for adding the image to WP:CMP while casting! Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:56, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I posted the image within half an hour of the announcement. It seemed rather probable to me that this would gain support. Schwede66 04:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Given the number of people that are not regulars on ITN boards (in other words, drawn here by popularity of the topic), voting counting is the last thing we should be doing. We also (as being discussed on the talk page) do not use the weight or breadth of coverage to make decisions of what ITN should post, in part being we are not newspapers and have a different emphasis on what is encyclopedically important, not what is important on the spot moment as the news media does.
This whole situation is part of how broken WP is when it comes to NOTNEWS. We are meant to summarize, not detail, the news, and the fact that these articles have so much excessive on-the-spot detail, and the wide push to support this with claims that it is likely going to be important, is not how we should be writing the encyclopedia, nor the type of topics we should be featuring at ITN. It's why its stressed that ITN is not a news ticker, and that we have to keep fighting against systematic bias, of which this situation is a clear case that that was flat out ignored by most !voters. (several of the opposes are in this direction). — Masem (t) 04:09, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- @Masem: WP:ITNSIGNIF has four bullet points under "other principles may be helpful" that influenced my read of the support !votes. I'd also note that there's no rule around who can participate at ITN, as this isn't Esperanza. Ed [talk] [OMT] 04:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- If we don't count votes and we don't use width or breadth of coverage, then what else we could use as criteria? BilboBeggins (talk) 07:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- "in part being we are not newspapers and have a different emphasis on what is encyclopedically important, not what is important on the spot moment as the news media does" — but isn't decision on who will be running that most likely changes the outcome of president election in the most influential country in the world encyclopedically important? BilboBeggins (talk) 07:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- To the blurb itself: I shortened it to focus on Biden withdrawing from the entire campaign, as that got the news across without what I saw as unnecessary complexity.

- Pull – "Incumbent does not seek reelection" who cares? This happens all the time in all parts of the world. Not remotely ITN worthy. 5225C (talk • contributions) 03:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- To consider that:
- Most incumbents that does not seek reelection does not start by seeking reelection and then withdrawing 3 months before the due date,
- That actually doesn't happen as often as one might think. I don't recall any of the G20 member states having a similar thing in recent memory, at least those with Presidential systems.
- Let's be real, the President of the United States is just more influential and significant than almost any other state. If Xi Jinping suddenly declares he won't seek a fourth term a few months before the CPC Congress or if Narendra Modi suddenly announces he won't be running for reelection in his seat, that will also be posted.
- Juxlos (talk) 03:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- To consider that:
- Pull The impact of Biden not running for the presidency is the same as him not being elected. We should post only when someone is being elected into the office. – robertsky (talk) 03:27, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Why? Honest query. Is it a principle of ITN, apparently unstated, that, "ITN does not post any events relating to heads of govt other than the (re)election of an occupant, no matter how many readers might care"? (I presume it's implied that the death, resignation, or removal of a current occupant would also qualify.) Could you elaborate on how that relates to the purpose of ITN, which is things such as,
To help readers find and quickly access content they are likely to be searching for because an item is in the news
? Thank you ahead of time for responding; I appreciate hearing others share their views, even if we may not agree entirely. Slowking Man (talk) 05:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- When it comes to elections, what ITN cares is who is occupying the office next. Him pulling out is as good as not the person going to be occupying the office in the next four years. Other than the announcement are there any impact in the next 4 months before the next person takes over from this that we know of at the moment? No. – robertsky (talk) 05:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Okay again, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask, where is this statement of principle found, exactly:
what ITN cares is who is occupying the office next
? A text search of WP:ITN for "election", "politic", and "office" finds (excluding the current ITN blurbs) two occurences of "election", both in this paragraph:Opposing a specific story merely because one opposes all stories of that type (such as elections, or sports, or disasters) do not often generate agreement from the community. This also holds true for arguments based on similar stories which have coincidentally appeared recently, such as multiple elections on the same day, etc. Please assess and comment on the merits of each story on its own accord, not in relation to other similar stories.
I'm afraid I don't find where that ITN principle is stated. Could you help me here? (Also, this is in fact relevant towho is occupying the office next
, is it not? This means it is all-but-certain to be someone other than Biden.) Slowking Man (talk) 07:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Post-posting support per IAR. I would like the blurb to be reworded though; you campaign for president (more accurately, for election as president), not for the presidential election. Davey2116 (talk) 03:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Does the wording "... withdraws from the 2024 presidential election" work, Davey2116? (It aligns with our withdrawal article, at least.) Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:55, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, that works. Sorry to be pedantic like this! Davey2116 (talk) 03:58, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Post-posting support While I understand some may be concerned about bias towards U.S. news, the outcome of the U.S. election has a clear and significant international effect, unlike elections in nearly every other country. An incumbent U.S. president pulling out of the race, at this point, is historic and deserves a blurb. Biden's health has dominated the news for weeks, resulting in today's announcement, which is of course the top story around the world. Johndavies837 (talk) 04:01, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Post-posting support. As I said earlier this has not happened since 1968 with Johnson (50 YEARS). Politics is what shapes the world and it dictates laws and alliances. If we can post a blurb about a guy from Vietnam who most people under 30 haven't heard about, then we can post about Joe. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Post-posting support, very rare, very consequential, very in the news. starship.paint (RUN) 05:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Post-posting support. This changes course of presidential campaign, and most likely the outcome, which in iftrslf influences world politics. This is the top news now. To arguments about Argentina and other countries not getting blurb — if you had proposed it then, maybe it would have been considered. And USA presidential campaign is unlike others, it basically lasts two years and withdrawing as soon before formal announcement of being nominated, and indeed before election is very notable. BilboBeggins (talk) 06:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Pull – There is no way an equivalent event in any other country would be posted here. HiLo48 (talk) 07:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support Article looks good. Very notable indeed. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 00:17, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support on notability, notable and far beyond the scope of the ongoing war (the request for the case was registered by the ICJ in January 2023). I'm afraid the "Reactions" section might be a bit too unbalanced, as the vast majority of the people quoted are Israeli politicians. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 01:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support for notability and international significance. ArkHyena (talk) 01:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support on notability particularly because the ruling says Israel
"should put an end to its illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories, desist from creating new settlements, and evacuate those already established."
Currently, the formatting of the reactions section is suboptimal, and should be broken into subsections; for example, see the South Africa's genocide case against Israel article. Gödel2200 (talk) 01:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC) - Support per above. BilledMammal (talk) 02:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support on notability and quality. --NoonIcarus (talk) 02:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Somewhat oppose on quality only - the "Oral Presentation" and "Reactions" sections, as typical, are just lists of any thrown reaction to this ruling and should be neither trying to be complete nor simply presented as a list. The Oral Presentations should likely be made into a narrative to describe the major points made by the countries as a group, for example, not how each country presented. Also, if we can indicate that this is a non-binding verdict (because Israel, nor the US for that matter have signed onto the ICJ recognition) in the blurb, that would be helpful. --Masem (t) 02:44, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per all above. The Kip (contribs) 02:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support And for once I have no concern with the list-y sections. The first is a part of the court proceedings, right? And it's well-written even if it looks like flag soup from a glance. The reactions is not the best, but it's less "X from Country said thoughts and prayers" and more relevant people reflecting on material consequences. Do I like the bullet layout for the reactions? Not particularly, but (even considering the page protection) it seems like a valid way to stop that section becoming a repository for unsubstantial responses. Kingsif (talk) 03:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- the problem with the court proceedings is that we don't normally document cases to that level. When and where they happened, sure, and the broad scope of the arguments, but just listing what each country said without further context is not really helpful. — Masem (t) 04:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominal support: Significant ruling from the ICJ, but as we did not post previous ICJ rulings on the conflict, I am not sure whether there is a precedent for posting this either. Tofusaurus (talk) 03:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- The most recent ICJ case proposed for posting was the South Africa v Israel genocide case in January, but iirc that was a preliminary ruling and was also considerably more weak in content (basically politely asked Israel to not commit genocidal acts, and politely asked Hamas to release the hostages), so it ultimately didn't develop consensus to post. By comparison, this is a far more concrete ruling, and this case has been running since long before the war broke out anyways. The Kip (contribs) 05:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per all above MAL MALDIVE (talk) 06:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose As Israel
isn'tis part of this system and the court has no way to enforce its rulings, the impact should be as minimal as when anotheruninvolvedparty declares as much. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)- Israel is in fact part of the United Nations system. Neljack (talk) 02:12, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Support RD, he had been General Secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party since 2011. World leaders are definitely notable enough 5.57.241.186 (talk) 12:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC) - Support RD While one unsourced statement remains, that shouldn't hold up the article going to RD. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:59, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Oppose The China section is unsourced. Gödel2200 (talk) 12:35, 19 July 2024 (UTC)- I've edited that section and added the sources. Inclusion Activist (talk) 13:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Blurb
Support RD, he was the most powerful leader in Vietnam, and argubaly one of the most influential since the country's reunification. He was also the only leader to have hosted Biden, Putin and Xi this year. --Inclusion Activist (talk) 12:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC) - Blurb due to his notability as (former Vietnamese president until 2021 and as) General Secretary until today, being the highest-ranking leader and basically holding the power in the country. 🔥Jalapeño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 13:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nothing in the article suggests why he would be a major figure. Just simply holding a major political position is not sufficient for this determination. We need details of how he was influential and the like. — Masem (t) 14:36, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- "During his tenure, Trọng pursued a wide anti-corruption campaign, implicating numerous senior officials to a degree unprecedented in Vietnamese political history. His foreign policy, known as "bamboo diplomacy", sought to balance Vietnam's relations with both the United States and China. Trọng is considered one of the most influential Vietnamese leaders since Hồ Chí Minh." Directly from the article's lead. Have you read it, per chance? 🔥Jalapeño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 14:38, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- If that is truly that significant (and it could be, I don't know), there should be far more commentary around this topic, typically in a type of Legacy or Impact section though it doesn't necessarily need to be there. It cannot be just a demonstration of a factual account of his role in the government. — Masem (t) 16:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
"Just simply holding a major political position is not sufficient for this determination."
Haven't we always blurbed world leaders, though? Trong led his country of over 100 million people for 13 years, and his governance was evidently consequential. Kurtis (talk) 00:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support RD Considering the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam is the powerful leadership position in Vietnam and under his tenure witnessed the increase of international standing of Vietnam when it comes to diplomacy such as the country's relations between superpowers like China, Russia and the United States. Toadboy123 (talk) 16:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb Not every world leader should receive one. Not ready for RD as it needs some sources and MOS:SANDWICH issues to be resolved. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- CN's have been resolved. 🔥Jalapeño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 18:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb I think any incumbent world leader that dies in office should be blurbed. Article looks good and IMO two cn tags shouldn't prevent it from getting posted. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Succession What matters most is the person that is in charge now. According to the Reuters report, President Tô Lâm has now assumed those duties in an acting capacity, pending a party decision on what to do next. We should blurb both the death and handover together. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Fair point, the Sec. General in Vietnam is the position of power per List of current heads of state and government, and thus the position change is ITNR. — Masem (t) 18:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait I'm confused. The page lists general secretary as head of government, but Prime Minister of Vietnam says it is head of government? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:37, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- The PM of Vietnam article says that the PM is the head of govt. & the President of Vietnam article says that the President is the head of state, but neither of those positions is considered the most powerful official in Vietnam. The General Secretary article says that the General Secretary is the most powerful official in Vietnam (& that person is sometimes the President as well). Blaylockjam10 (talk) 23:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- In communist countries, as communist party is the sole ruling party, the general secretary is in charge of running the party structures across the country while prime minister in general is responsible for running the cabinet and governmental ministries of the country - Toadboy123 (talk) 18:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I think July 2024 global IT outages or 2024 CrowdStrike outages would be the appropriate target article. Plus, the CrowdStrike article is tagged and has some issues. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 07:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support With airlines grounded and medical services restricted, this is huge. I've been expecting global dependence on the internet and such software to become an existential risk comparable with the pandemic and here we are.

- Comment Article is not of great quality. Yes, it ticks the long-enough box, but its just listing events and has no real structure or narrative to it. This is not representive of how we normally write articles on news coverage for an encyclopedia. --Masem (t) 11:58, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- It still has the problem that it just making a list of incidents, now grouped by field than by country. These articles should be written far more narratively, not trying to describe each singular incident since this was a clear global problem. — Masem (t) 02:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Of course the article can be improved, but it is plainly not so bad that it has to be yanked immediately from the Main Page. Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- At this point I am not asking for a pull, but I think the way this article started and even presently is is a systemic problem of how we are not writing about current events in an encyclopedic style but instead just compiling every case without thought of a cohesive article that would be how we would have written about the same event if we were doing this ten years after the fact. This has become far too common and widespread and we need to be demanding a bit more editorial considerations rather just listifying parts of an event. Masem (t) 12:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Blaylockjam10 (talk) 00:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)- @Blaylockjam10 I have hidden that section because it may violate the WP:BLP, inasmuch as she is not directly involved in the case and is not a direct party to the judicial process.

"The country's national grid and its airports were shut down on 3 June 2024, as were banks, hospitals and schools...The following day, the NLC and TUC suspended the strike, pending talks with the government over raising the minimum wage."
, but it does not indicate that a situation like that was occurring at the time the deal was agreed upon. I think that this would only warrant a blurb if something at the scale of what was happening on 3 June was also happening at the time of the resolution.

- Regrettable oppose On quality. Article needs ref work. I would support a blurb once issues are fixed, but I feel that the article needs a legacy section or something to reflect the impact he had on the comedy world. Obits are calling him a legend and the "dean" of deadpan comedy.

The article is fine - mostly the usual busywork remains but that's not significant. I have clarified that his famous stammer was natural, not affected, and that's the sort of detail that actually matters. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:59, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not ready. This is still orange tagged with many explicit inline CN tags and unmarked unsourced paragraphs. Thryduulf (talk)
- I'm open to a blurb (if the article is improved) as someone who reached the pinnacle of their profession. Per the NYT, Newhart "basically invented the stand-up special" and had a eponymous comedy TV show whose finale is still "viewed as one of the greatest finales in television history", so much so that the NYT ran an separate article about it after Newhart's death.

In light of these events, the Prime Minister questioned the education of the protesters and described their behaviour as "very regrettable"
is sourced to this, so the first part of the sentence is synthesis from the source, and the words "very regrettable" don't appear at all. Or this sectionIn the early hours of 16 July, at around 12:15 am, members of the Chhatra League attacked Jahangirnagar University students using firearms
is sourced to this in which firearms aren't mentioned. And this is just a couple of the English sources I've looked at, not being able to read Bengali which makes up at least half of the sources.

- Support even though the article does need a bit of an expansion. 64.114 etc 06:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality as target article’s barely longer than a stub. Weak support on notability, given the rarity of such attacks in Oman. The Kip (contribs) 07:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality due to the length of the article. Also, the article should make it clear that these events are rare in Oman. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have attempted to make that clear on the article. Bte3000 (talk) 16:18, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Should mention in the blurb that this is the first instance of ISIS launching an attack in Oman. Bremps... 19:32, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality 15:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bte3000 (talk • contribs)
- Support on notability, with no comment on quality (haven't read the article yet). Oman is arguably the most peaceful country in the Middle East, so a massacre there—especially if it was done by ISIS or any other terrorist organization—is highly notable. Kurtis (talk) 02:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Who, what, where, when, why and how are answered. It'd be best if we mention that Oman has never suffered an ISIS attack before. Bremps... 02:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The mosque is not notable. None of the people involved are notable. There have yet to be any demonstrated widespread societal effects. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The article does not do a good job of explaining this in context. The fact that the attack took place in Oman does not seem significant as this is not a secular political issue. It seems to be a traditional expression of religious sectarian violence which goes back centuries. See Terrorist attacks during Ashura. Insofar as ISIS was involved, this makes it common rather than rare. See List of terrorist incidents in 2024 in which the count for ISIS seems to be about 11 for the year so far.

- Support Article is of sufficient quality. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 03:25, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- This election is of... dubious, shall we say, fairness and the article does not fully reflect that reality. Bremps... 04:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- TLDR only two of the eight candidates who wanted to run against Kagame were allowed to run, and Kagame allegedly won 99% of the vote. Bremps... 04:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This was a sham election and the article does not show that. Also, WP:ITNELECTIONS mentions
Changes in the holder of the office which administers the executive of their respective state/government
but he has been in his office for almost two and a half decades now. PrinceofPunjabTALK 04:49, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think this was marked as ITNR because it was a general election, not because it was a change in the executive. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- But the blurb have no mention of the parliamentary elections and mentions only the presidential one. PrinceofPunjabTALK 16:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- The current blurb mentions the general election as a whole, which includes both the parliamentary and presidential ones. It explicitly mentions the reelection of Kagame as he is the executive, but it certainly could also mention the results in the parliament. Gödel2200 (talk) 17:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- But the blurb have no mention of the parliamentary elections and mentions only the presidential one. PrinceofPunjabTALK 16:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think this was marked as ITNR because it was a general election, not because it was a change in the executive. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per PrinceofPunjab. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per PrinceOfPunjab. If it does end up posted, I’d support using the “announced as the winner of the election” wording we’ve had for previous elections of dubious fairness. The Kip (contribs) 07:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, the article is still ITN/R as a general election, but the article does not mention the parliament's election results at all. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 07:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support. While probably not "free and fair", the election did actually take place and the people did vote for Kagame, so this election is covered by ITN/R and we've generally always posted it in the past. It might be good for the "aftermath" section to mention any international organisations saying it wasn't free and fair, but I'm not sure there are any yet. No doubt when that happens, we can update the article but for now I think it's good to go. I've also updated the results to show the provisional figures for parliament. — Amakuru (talk) 08:40, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose we don't know how many people actually voted for Kagame. Significant election fraud is not out of the question. It would require sources to claim this election is different from the many sham elections held in Rwanda since 1994. (t · c) buidhe 23:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per PrinceofPunjab. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 09:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Article sort of explains why the election was not free and fair - i.e. real opponents of Kagame are barred from even standing in the first place, the other "candidates" are Government-approved ones to ensure the appearance of democracy - but it should be (and needs to be) a lot clearer. Currently a casual reader would assume that Kagame is enthusiastically backed by nearly 100% of the Rwandan population, whereas in reality the claim that turnout was 98% is ... fanciful. Black Kite (talk) 11:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per Amakuru. Wikipedia gives cited facts so readers can draw their own conclusions. This article meets NPOV adequately already, and when more refs regarding its lack of fairness should come, those would be welcome too. Jiaminglimjm (talk) 15:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per Amakuru, although I do believe the election was unfair it's still a election which was voted for. We should add sources saying if the election was fair or not when they come Sharrdx (talk) 15:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose -- unfair and unfree election is not ITNR. --RockstoneSend me a message! 20:17, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not presumed notable, but not necessarily non-notable. Bremps... 21:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Blaylockjam10 @Chaotic Enby @Andrew Davidson @PrinceofPunjab @Black Kite I've added more to the article hopefully demonstrating more critically the way the election was not free and fair. Let me know if the article still needs more work in that department. I've also updated the altblurb with more details & with slightly different wording (including the results of the parliamentary election). Let me know if that needs more work as well (in particular - is it too long for ITN standards?) Staraction (talk | contribs) 22:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Much better now. Bremps... 00:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's the blurb that's the issue rather than the article. Presenting this in a formulaic way is a false equivalence which misleads the reader. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Per norm, it's a national election. Scu ba (talk) 23:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb Although notable and the article is looking better, I oppose the current blurb per PrinceofPunjab and The Kip. The current blurb is misleading by omission. It misleads the reader into a sense of equivalency by using the same terminology we have used for actual free and fair elections. I do support altblurb. FlipandFlopped ツ 01:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support on notability—A glorified referendum on Kagame's continued dictatorship it is, and the blurb should make this clear, but it's an actual election in a de jure "democracy". It merits a mention on the main page. Kurtis (talk) 02:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Posted, there's no section in the article on how it was not free or fair, Stephen 02:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Post-posting straw poll on changing it to "declared winner" This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 03:09, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- As stated above, I support this as the default when the election isn’t considered free/fair by RSes. The Kip (contribs) 03:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- As long as the article is updated to align to any wording that you want here. Stephen 03:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support "declared winner" I think the following is enough:
Bremps... 06:48, 18 July 2024 (UTC)The only three presidential candidates allowed to run were the same as from 2017, where Kagame won with more than 98% of the vote. DW described the election as a "re-run of the non-contest in 2017."[27] Amnesty International criticized the censorship of opposition in the race as having "a chilling effect and limits the space for debate for people of Rwanda". The Independent described the election as "widely criticised as unfair."[4]
- It's fine as is I would think. I'm not a fan of editorialising in blurbs, and while this argument comes up time and time again here for Russian, Rwandan and other elections I don't think we've ever deviated from the simple statement of who won and leaving the detail to the article. And therefore it would be wrong to carve out an exception for this specific case. If there's a prior precedent then please point it out to me. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 07:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- comment here's an easy solution, just mention the percentage of the vote (99%) that he got, that should tell everyone with an iq of above like 3 what that election was like Kasperquickly (talk) 09:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Won't work, since reporting isn't done. Well, "reporting". Bremps... 15:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
that should tell everyone with an iq of above like 3 what that election was like
- As you've been told before, quit it with the personalized commentary. The Kip (contribs) 19:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- For the Russian election, the blurb was
That’s still too weak for my taste & I’d write it as “announced as” instead of “announced to be”, but it’s better than the current blurb for the Rwandan election. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 00:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Vladimir Putin is announced to be the winner of the Russian presidential election, securing a fifth term.

English soprano who created many roles in new operas. The article was there, but referencing took time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

To everyone else, the photo conveys the rudimentary essence of an English soprano, now recently deceased (which is more than I can say for some portraits). Article looks fine, in the textual sense.

Article is well-referenced as of nomination, with a few updates being added. — MarkH21talk 04:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose due to missing prose summary, rest-of-tournament sections, and description of the pre-match ticket fiasco that pushed the match back by an hour. Will try to make improvements tomorrow. SounderBruce 04:11, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- The sumamry & pre-match sections have now been started with a few paragraphs each. — MarkH21talk 05:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per above, article's simply not ready. Do want to note for anyone that may raise it - this is correctly placed on the 15th, as due to the delay/extra time the Final ended after midnight eastern. The Kip (contribs) 04:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Notability is not an issue as the event is listed on ITNR (presumed to be notable). Focus solely on article quality. Bremps... 05:21, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- ’’’Procedural support’” guess we can’t have only real news on ITN forever :/ This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 07:12, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- We get it, you don’t like sportsball. Doesn’t mean you have to insert your personalized commentary/complaints every time a sporting event comes up at ITNC - this isn’t the first time in recent memory. The Kip (contribs) 09:51, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, like "Old Man Dies" it's getting very wearisome now. Black Kite (talk) 15:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Except "old man dies" has an argument to be made for it; complaining about ITN/R sports stories has none. Kicking222 (talk) 21:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- I suppose so.
- Both are tiring, but OMD is rooted in a legitimate criticism of ITNC (albeit one I disagree with), while the “sports bad” comments amount to contrarianism - these are easily notable enough by our standards. The Kip (contribs) 01:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- They are separate events. Would we merge any other type of news event together because they happened one day after the other? ("In disaster news, earthquakes in Anyville and Randomtown kill 21 and 34 people respectively"). Black Kite (talk) 15:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, if only to not have two very similar events take up two bullet points. Wqwt (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- We have. Bremps... 02:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Two separate events clash. Unnamelessness (talk) 15:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- I feel that two events in the same sport can be put on the same line (many of the two winning teams are probably teammates at club level); that's not the same as merging either of these with Wimbledon. As with disasters, I feel like if earthquakes hit California and Texas on the same day, that would be posted on the same line because the response would probably be co-ordinated - different to posting an earthquake in the USA and one in China on the same line. I swear I've seen joint posting for when different European leagues have ended on the same day, or in the same week as the Champions League. Unknown Temptation (talk) 16:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- This does make a good bit of sense. They're both continental championship finals in the exact same sport. We don't post a separate blurb for two separate finals from Wimbledon, for instance. Of course, that does hinge on this getting posted in a timely manner anyway; right now this article suffers from the all-too-common problem for championship finals of being just a table dumb with little to no prose. Nottheking (talk) 17:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- The article has a dozen paragraphs of prose and one table. — MarkH21talk 18:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Considering they’ll be run back to back, can’t say I’d be opposed to this proposal. The Kip (contribs) 09:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support on principle. I've got a question though, shouldn't the blurb for this and the UEFA final ITN say that "... (Spain / Argentina) defeats (England / Colombia) ..." instead of the singular defeat since the blurbs are in present tense and the subject nations are singular nouns? SpacePod9 (talk) 23:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Each side of the Pond seems to have a different opinion on which is broken English (defeat or defeats). Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 01:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- If it's an ENGVAR issue, since this Copa America involved North America, maybe "defeats" is the way to go. But IDK, it seems like it's more to do with certain countries referring to their national teams as "they", and some referring to their national teams as "it", and the subsequent verb agreement (they defeat, it defeats). In that case, we should probably look to the WP articles of the relevant national teams to see which pronoun seems to be in use, and make the blurb agree. Kingsif (talk) 04:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- See the current Euro 2024 blurb for the standard method of avoiding this issue. Black Kite (talk) 05:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- I like it They're close in form, time and (questionable) prose quality. Nobody urgently needs to learn the score. The important thing is the finals (each one final) are featured, rather than divisive words about winning or losing. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

The article for the final may need some sourcing work. Gödel2200 (talk) 20:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose until there is a prose recap of the match. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:59, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle. Congratulations to Spain for the fully deserved victory.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- You're well aware that "support in principle" is meaningless for an ITN/R article. Either say that you think it's ready or say why you don't think it's ready. Kicking222 (talk) 21:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- This is also a big win for a major world country in one of the major international tournaments that conclude today. 2604:3D08:9476:BE00:4DE:B079:824F:421A (talk) 21:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the final as the primary article as it seems quite perfunctory, doesn't provide any narrative for the game and needs work for issues like tense. The UEFA Euro 2024 article would be better as the primary article as it covers the entire event but that needs work too. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Those oppose votes that the article on the final lacks a prose recap of the match only 20 minutes after its end are very unproductive and may delay posting this because the majority of admins here blindly count votes. We all know that this won’t be posted in the next two hours, at least.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support: The prose summary has been started and is well-referenced. No preference for primary-linked article or wording in the blurb. — MarkH21talk 21:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- SUPPORT! Apparently, it’s agreeable that the summary is well authentically referenced with good citations. 207.194.85.134 (talk) 23:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment If both this blurb and the next Copa América one are posted, they could be merged into one blurb to avoid repetition (e.g: In association football, Spain defeat England to win UEFA Euro 2024, and Argentina defeat Colombia to win the 2024 Copa América.) Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 09:52, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think it's wise to merge them as it may delude people that it's a single event or two closely related events, especially when we have a combined blurb on the Wimbledon Championships already on the main page.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, they are completely separate events. Every year we get a glut of sporting ITN/Rs around this time, it's just one of those things. Black Kite (talk) 11:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- But it would avoid the tiff of which one gets posted on top and in turn lasts longer. I get they are different events, but still "continent level championship for national teams in the same sport at the same time" is close enough that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. But no strong opinion either way, just seems like it would avoid some drama. nableezy - 17:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
*Oppose on quality (and unmarked as Ready). Four sentences of prose on the entire final match is not sufficient. Black Kite (talk) 11:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's good. Marked Ready again. Black Kite (talk) 15:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support there really is nothing more you can write about the match, the quality is good enough Reme77 (talk) 12:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support I've made the summary four paragraphs now, two for each half. Kingsif (talk) 14:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Admins willing to post ITN: anyone available to post this? Natg 19 (talk) 00:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Really big incident in the Philippines, a lot of news sources talking about it, I might as well try to put it on the main page.🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Subnational incident that doesn't rise to the level of impact required for a main page posting.
- Noah, BSBATalk 11:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This seems to be stale; Guo was suspended from office on 3 June, and the NBI investigation confirmed her identity on 27 June ([11]). An arrest warrant was issued on 13 July, but this seems to have been for the Philippine equivalent of Contempt of Congress rather than any other malfeasance ([12]), and besides that arrests themselves are very rarely posted here. Curbon7 (talk) 12:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The suspension itself is stale, and the story is a subnational incident. Gödel2200 (talk) 12:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per the above. The wording of the proposed blurb is weird as well, and this definitely doesn't rise even to a national level of significance. (If Andy Burnham lost his job, would we post it here? When Nicola Sturgeon or Ron De Santis were in trouble, did we post it?) But also, this was rightly closed as a no-hoper, and it's been reopened by an IP user. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:16, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- The original source appears to be local DA speaking to various media. Different media have different threshold for single/double/triple confirmation before reporting something big. Which is why there's some reporting of dead shooter in some media but not others. Wait until it's reported across major media before referencing such if it's considered to be included with a blurb. -- KTC (talk) 23:42, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- It's not up to Wikipedia editors to "interpret" an event. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a tertiary source, and luckily we are not saddled with the task of interpreting events—only repeating the reports of reliable secondary sources. It'll become clear in the next few hours how sources are treating this (and I'll be surprised if it's not as an assassination attempt, considering the report I read about the local police investigating it as an attempt on DJT's life). ꧁Zanahary꧂ 00:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb3 This was an assassination attempt. "was injured" is ambiguous. — hako9 (talk) 00:24, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support. Assassination attempt or not, there's no question that one person was shot dead at an event involving a former U.S. president. As I write this the story at NY Times' website says "Trump ‘Safe’ After Shooting at Rally; Suspect Is Killed". This is a no brainer for main page. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:26, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support There’s no ambiguity around this shooting happening and being notable. CNN has already reported this is being investigated as an assassination attempt. Delay this further is absurd. Kcmastrpc (talk) 00:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support - No need to wait as article is cited and will grow as we speak. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 00:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Further international coverage, [13] from the ABC, who had a reporter on site, and who describes one of the dead as "the person who fired shots in the former president's direction". Elsewhere, the same page says "Associated Press is reporting that the shooting is being investigated as an assassination attempt", "Washington Post reporter Meryl Kornfield says authorities told her Mr Trump was grazed by gunfire", and our ambassador and former PM Kevin Rudd has released a statement regarding "the attack on former President Trump". Nyttend (talk) 00:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- This image cannot be used, as it is likely a copyrighted image, and not fair use. Natg 19 (talk) 00:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait for reasons stated above. We certainly cannot mention numbers at the moment, as they will quickly get outdated. Ornov Ganguly (talk) 00:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- We routinely post major events involving casualties, and then update the blurb as the facts warrant. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Blurb should be re-written to stick to the known facts. No investigative body has concluded that it's an assassination attempt, but they are investigating it as such. So the confirmed information: 2 dead, there was a shooting, Trump was injured, they're inestigating it as an assassination attempt. Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I think outright labelling it as an assassination attempt is projection on Wikipedia's part. I don't think any reliable sources have labelled it as such. Even the article itself just says it is being "investigated as an assassination attempt" but doesn't outright label it an assassination attempt. At the very least the blurb should reflect what is written in the article it is relating to. RahelTensions (talk) 01:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Change blurb to ALT2 per @Harizotoh9. Even though it is fairly obvious that it was an assassination attempt this has not been confirmed and RS have only said it's being investigated as an assassination attempt, not that it was. ALT2 reflects the current facts of the situation. Jbvann05 01:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh and there were two confirmed deaths so the Alt2 blurb is out of date already. One rally attendee and the shooter. Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've softened to possible assassination attempt, for now. El_C 01:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Change blurb to Alt2 Mentioning that someone was killed makes it the best description of what happened. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 02:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Change blurb to Alt3 Associated Press says shooting being investigated as assassination attempt. [6] CoatCheck (talk) 02:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Change to Altblurb2 "investigated as an assassination attempt" =/= "confirmed assassination attempt." Goal and motive still not know, so we should avoid assuming on what it is. Unless we get a RS stating that it's not just being "investigated as an assassination attempt" but outright declared as one, the ITN should not claim it as such. Nottheking (talk) 05:26, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- The FBI specifically called it an assassination attempt. RahelTensions (talk) 05:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The incident is obviously interesting and in the news but it doesn't seem sufficiently certain, settled and stable to be suitable for presentation as an encyclopedia article. Issues include:
- Biden and Trump are both continually in the news as the presidential campaign progresses. For example, Biden's gaffes and the pressure on him to retire have been all over the news lately. It seems difficult to cherry-pick particular incidents in a balanced way and so the whole thing better belongs in Ongoing.
- The article about the incident is still a work-in-progress. For example, it currently uses a powerful image as fair use but the validity of this copyright issue is contested and unresolved.
- The incident is a crime but investigations are not yet complete. For example, the BBC reports that the shooter was spotted crawling into position minutes ahead of the shooting but nothing was done. The article does not yet explain this.
- There's already a big cloud of social media speculation, disinformation and misinformation out there which muddies the waters.
- We really don't need Donald Trump's smiling picture on the main page once again.
- Andrew🐉(talk) 06:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- If 'In the news' covered everyday campaign news, concern about cherry-picking events in a balanced way would be justified. Certain events within the presidential campaign are independently newsworthy. An assassination attempt on a former president and current presidential candidate is a significant (and likely historical) event.
- Featuring relevant and timely news often means linking to articles that are neither settled nor stable. The article is unambiguously flagged as a current event.
- You've repeated your concern about developing stories featuring in 'In the news.' The utility of 'In the news' is reduced for users if articles are only featured once they have matured.
- On the contrary, featuring this story helps combat social media speculation, disinformation, and misinformation by offering readers a fact-based resource.
- Your last point significantly weakens the preceding four.
- Dr Fell (talk) 17:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- ITN has moved on and so these points are mostly moot now. But the red link for Dr Fell is a nice puzzle and I fancy I have a solution. Now that's encyclopædic – well done! Andrew🐉(talk) 20:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support We recently posted Robert Fico’s assassination attempt, so it’s sensible to post a similar event involving a former US president and a clear front-runner in this year’s election. Yes, it seems like we post a lot of news about him, but we’re closely approaching the election and the next news to post should be his victory.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Slightly jumping ahead of the electoral process there, aren't you? GenevieveDEon (talk) 09:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- The user did jump the gun a bit, but I have a gut feeling that Trump's face is going to get on ITN at least six more times before he dies (win or lose this election) then again after he does. Bremps... 12:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I now support the posting (although I don't think we need the picture - it's still not related to the story). It was the 'should be his victory' part that seems wildly premature! GenevieveDEon (talk) 13:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Picture/blurb I'm in the UK and just heard a BBC news bulletin announce her death. I was already familiar with her large reputation and feel that she's a good example of the celebrity for which an RD picture is appropriate. A blurb would be good too, to explain to unfamiliar readers how and why she was so influential. Note also that the article is substantial, has a high quality rating, 175 inline citations and a huge bibliography.
- Also, we should run this as Dr. Ruth per WP:COMMONNAME.
- Andrew🐉(talk) 19:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Strong support Death was very newsworthy in numerous international sources. With respect to the listing name, I agree commonname applies, but would propose Dr. Ruth Westheimer which would provide more adequate detail and clarification. I'll also propose the following as a blurb to further that discussion, however I am not sure if a blurb is necessarily called for here:
- "Radio and television celebrity sex therapist, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, dies at age 96 in Manhattan."
With or without blurb, definitely a strong candidate for inclusion.Bgv. (talk) 19:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support, for RD, of course. Engle was the last of the 12 X-15 pilots (a big deal) and the astronaut who was scheduled to walk on the Moon on Apollo 17 but was replaced by a geologist (after Apollo 18 was canceled). Among the two Space Shuttle missions he commanded was the project's second flight. Engle is one of spaceflight's pioneers. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- It might be a big deal, but what does " last of the 12 X-15 pilots" mean? HiLo48 (talk) 05:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- It indicates that Joe Engle was one of the earliest pioneers of spaceflight, and was the last surviving member of the first group in this list of all astronauts/cosmonauts. (to be honest, that article tells the entire answer/story well enough on its own; the rest of my reply is just more historical context)
- Worth noting that the X-15 pilots were selected before those of either Mercury or Vostok, thus making the X-15 program the earliest astronaut program to put anyone in space. (even if said spaceflights did not occur until a year or so after the other two programs) On top of that, the X-15 was the world's first hypersonic fixed-wing aircraft.
- This placed Engle in a very exclusive club; while the FAI does not recognize him as having flown in space in the X-15, both NASA & the US Air Force do recognize him as having flown due to having passed an altitude of 50 miles (80,467.2 meters or 264,000 feet) on three occasions. (also worth noting that the Air Force selection for X-15 pilots would include a far more well-known member in Neil Armstrong, first person to set foot on the Moon)
- With Engle's passing, there are no longer any surviving members of the first group of pilots seriously selected to go to space. This leaves Boris Volynov as the earliest-surviving astronaut/cosmonaut, as the sole surviving member of the USSR's first cosmonaut selection. Nottheking (talk) 17:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but can you translate "12 X-15" to English please? HiLo48 (talk) 23:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

If we're going to blurb this we need to include at least some prose on the details of the maiden launch, what succeeded, what failed, etc. Otherwise I believe the maiden launch of a space vehicle (especially a major one from a government agency like ESA) is ITNR so support once the article is fixed. 142.163.137.123 (talk) 00:02, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- It's a consensus that we'll judge each posting on its notability merit rather than assume merit and post every time (so long as quality of article). Removal from ITNR is not a "we'll never post it again". Your initial comment appears to suggest that you think new rocket type launch isn't something we post at all and that it's "borderline of trivia". The support for removal from ITNR are based on the increasing number of new rockets types launches with the advent of commercial space exploration/launches. Ariane isn't one of those commercial development/launch. It's a replacement of the workhorse launch system for the 22-member intergovernmental European Space Agency. -- KTC (talk) 08:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose for now, the flight itself (Ariane flight VA262) doesn't have its own article yet, which is a bit suboptimal. It did successfully send its payload to orbit, so it should be notable enough as a maiden flight (better than the perennial Starship test flights). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 02:40, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, having an article about the flight would be nice. I don't want us to end up with the same result as the German Wikipedia, who currently have the same blurb in their version of "in the news", with a link to the article about de:Ariane 6 that barely mentions the maiden launch with a single sentence. I don't want to mock the German Wikipedia, but this rocket was largely developed in Germany, and if not even de:Liste der Ariane-6-Raketenstarts has anything to say about how the flight went, I find that quite sad. Renerpho (talk) 03:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as nominated, since the launch wasn't really a "success", but would support with modifications. It did send its payload to orbit, it just failed to then de-orbit the second stage, which really is the main new innovation of the Da Vinci upper stage compared to what Ariane 5 did. I have no concerns about notability, just about how to put it into a neutral blurb. Renerpho (talk) 03:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- ESA put a lot of weight on their "zero debris" policy, and on how Vinci was a big step in that direction. Even if the problem with this launch doesn't affect plans for the future (which remains to be seen), putting 600 kg of debris into an orbit that will need decades to decay doesn't look like a success to me. With how the news cycle is working, I'd wait until it is day again in Europe and in the US, to see if the news actually lean towards success, or failure. Renerpho (talk) 03:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- I am not convinced by the current state of the article that this merits posting, as it does not look ready. Almost more text is devoted to this launchdate being delayed, than to a description of the flight itself. Said description is completely limited to a table entry. Needs work. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:00, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle - I would fully support this if the article was up to par, but the launch itself doesn't have it's own article, and the main A6 article only has a small exerpt in launch history regarding it.

- Issues There are several issues with this:
- The target article doesn't have much of an update and has lots of uncited facts.
- Another athletics world record was broken at the same event – see Guardian
- This was a warm-up for the Olympics which we're about to run. I suppose more world records will be broken at that.
- The record has not been ratified and there can be technical objections.
- There are so many sports with so many stats that records are broken all the time. For example, Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix on Sunday which extended his record of wins and was the first time a driver had won a race for the ninth time. At Wimbledon, there's an new amazing record. There was a recent record at the Tour de France which we didn't run. And so on...

- Comment The article needs a couple of references, especially in the awards sections (the awards articles are cited so this is easy to fix), and some sentences in the prose also need sources. Other than that, all fine. If I remember correctly, we post breaking of long-standing records in athletics, as well as breaking of 100m and marathon whenever they happen (been a while since Usain Bolt but marathon got broken a couple of times in the past decade). --Tone 08:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would be happy to support featuring this if the update was more extensive. I'd expect more details than Template:Tq I imagine she didn't use a particularly different technique or anything, but surely we can write something about the five-second moment in which she made history?

- Oppose both on WP:ITNSIGNIF and WP:ITNQUALITY. Many world records get broken frequently and don't very often meet the significance to get posted- this has way less media coverage than Mark Cavendish breaking the Tour de France record last week, which didn't get consensus to post. And Mahuchikh's article and 2024 Meeting de Paris each have 2 sentences about it, which is not enough to meet the quality threshold. Picking this world record over any others (including the other one broken at the same event) would be arbitrary as it hasn't demonstrated enough coverage. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:24, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, "Many world records get broken frequently", but this one hasn't been. That sort of comment suggests you haven't read the previous discussion. It's quite unhelpful, AND irrelevant! 10:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HiLo48 (talk • contribs)

- Support in principle - I think comparisons with the Tour de France stages record are unfair. In the high jump, you jump high. That's the objective. If you jump higher than anyone else in the competition, you win, and if you jump higher than anyone before, that's unambiguously the record. In the Tour de France, you're aiming for the lowest cumulative time, not the number of individual stages won. That's not to say the stages record isn't interesting (it is) or a great achievement (it is), but it's not raising the worldwide standard for the thing the contest actually measures, and this high jump record is. We also don't often post high jump and other athletics, relative to other sports, so it's a welcome bit of focus. GenevieveDEon (talk) 08:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yet another support vote that completely ignores WP:ITNQUALITY- there is no article with a good enough update on this, because this WR only warrants 2 sentences in articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:28, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Regardless of the questionable WP:ITNSIGNIF, nobody has suggested a valid target article that meets ITNQUALITY by having a large update on this event and the article being good enough. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This is only an improvement on the previous record by 1 cm (2.10 vs 2.09 m). Yes, its technically a new world's record, but it seems such a trivial gain in the larger picture. I also tend to agree that with as many track and field events and their individual records, its probably better to focus on the event and records broken rather than a singular one, unless that clearly smashed the previous record. --Masem (t) 12:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- Absolutely I do, Template:U. Schwede66 04:18, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- I can't speak for Schwede, nor am I an administrator, but I believe administrators are bound to honoring community consensus regardless of their personal opinion on the merits of the prevailing argument. For instance, administrator XYZ could find it ridiculous that people are arguing against the notability of a new record in the high jump (as you evidently do, and I personally agree that it is a notable record and worthy of a blurb), but if the overall consensus ultimately disagrees with XYZ's perspective, then XYZ has to accept and respect that. To do otherwise is to supervote, which goes against the decision-making process of the Wikipedia community and can be grounds for censure or even sanction.
Having said that, there are exceptions to this rule—for instance, when the consensus among participants in a discussion goes against widely-accepted Wikipedia policy. Say, for instance, a musician has an article listing each of their unreleased songs. The article is nominated for deletion for being "cruft" and people cite things like "WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE" as a rationale for deletion. The consensus among participants is to delete, but the problem is that their rationales do not align with Wikipedia's inclusion policy; besides, the list itself is both well-written and adequately sourced, and was actually designated as a featured article at the time of the nomination. On that basis, the closing administrator determined that there was no consensus to delete the article despite the preponderance of votes against its inclusion, and his decision was upheld at WP:DRV. This is not a hypothetical situation, by the way—this was exactly what happened at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of unreleased Britney Spears songs. Yes, that discussion happened nearly 12 full years ago, but the principles adhered to at the time of its closure remain applicable today. Kurtis (talk) 05:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Template:ITN candidate Unexpected result, as the National Rally and their allies were originally predicted to get the most seats, but only came in third place after the NPF and Ensemble. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait. We still need a clearer idea of what the results were; this is a much murkier situation than last week's UK vote. (where Labour clearly won a decisive majority that lined up with expectations; contrast here where we have a surprise result) Also, given that even the article linked for "relative majority" itself is called Plurality, I would recommend the blurb actually use that to avoid confusion. Nottheking (talk) 21:57, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Wait the results sections is missing information once filled support Shadow4dark (talk) 20:22, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a result yet? I was literally just looking at a couple of news sites, that says the far-right and fascists weren't doing as well as expected, but I didn't see any breakdowns. But hang on - I'm no expert on France politics - but the New Popular Front is alliance of over 50 political parties - including the Pirate Party and the Guadeloupe Communist Party? I'm not sure I get this one, compared to most countries where there's only up to a half-dozen viable parties. Nfitz (talk) 21:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- There are indeed many parties under the NPF, although only four of them (La France Insoumise, the Socialist Party, The Greens and the French Communist Party) have a substantial presence in the National Assembly. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:51, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm the primary contributor to this article. There isn't an officially aggregated national result yet, but it will be published by the Ministry of the Interior later here and added once that happens. The NFP is a broad electoral alliance of the main parties of the left as well as numerous smaller formations which had their candidates nominated in a small number of districts, as depicted here. It's an unusual situation, but with such a short timeline this was agreed upon quickly to allow the parties of the left to have the best chance of getting candidates elected rather than splitting the vote in the two-round electoral system. 73.169.176.209 (talk) 22:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- How long does it take for the vote to be finalized by the government? Here it can take weeks, even if the incumbent conceded within an hour of the polls closing. Surely in the interim, putting in preliminary results from a reliable source suffices in many other places. Should be the same, unless the Pirates steal some poll boxes. Nfitz (talk) 00:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

- They're not aggregated by the Ministry of the Interior just yet (various news outlets create their own classifications of candidates, so the counts of votes and seats won tend to differ between them); we've always used the Ministry of the Interior ones because they're official classifications and the others are unofficial classifications.

- Deadlock is the word preferred by headlines such as "French Election Yields Deadlock..." and "France Faces Deadlock...". What's going to happen now seems quite unclear. Will France have to resort to a civil servant as PM like the Netherlands or what? One detail of language which is interesting is the word insoumise which appears in the name of one of the many parties. This seems to mean "unruly" and "insubordinate" and the result seems to confirm France's reputation for being ungovernable. We should avoid a blurb which gives the impression that someone has won and perhaps wait until the outcome is clearer. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:07, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Although the article is currently orange-tagged, this is related to the lack of attention from enough fluent Persian speakers (or people able to use auto-translators sufficiently well). The benefit of the extra attention of ITN may help improve the quality of the article sufficiently to justify the removing the tags, so an exception to the general rule may be acceptable in this case. Boud (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality this election is WP:ITNR, so only consideration is article quality (thus all the "support on notability" votes are irrelevant). And there are 3 valid orange tags that need fixing. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - by which criterion is this WP:ITN/R? The government bit says Template:Xt, but our article President of Iran notes that Template:Xt. Thus this role is somewhat more of a figurehead and should be judged on its own merits rather than being given an automatic pass. — Amakuru (talk) 09:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would imagine it was marked as ITNR because it was thought to be a general election. Looking at the three different elections that took place in Iran this year, it is not at all clear to me which one was the general election, so this might not be ITNR. Gödel2200 (talk) 11:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- The president of Iran does not hold the highest political authority, but does have many of the powers of an executive president, and is not just a figurehead. Among the Reformist presidents, Khatami was generally seen as having a big influence; Rouhani's reformist actions were generally seen as less successful; Ahmedinejad's role as a hardliner president was generally seen as him being mostly in control of executive power. Relations between the West and Iran have changed significantly between Reformist and hardliner Iranian presidents. This does satisfy ITN/R in any reasonable interpretation of real political power and both national and international effects. Boud (talk) 19:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think there is any question of whether this election should be posted. But ITNR specifically says changes in the people who administer the executive of their country qualify, and according to the List of current heads of state and government article, that position is the supreme leader, not the president, so the election would technically not qualify for ITNR under that clause. Gödel2200 (talk) 21:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- In Iran, the president is the head of government. See President of Iran. He chooses all ministers and cabinet members. The supreme leader is the head of state, but not the head of government. 175.159.120.175 (talk) 09:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- The issue with ITN/R is that it assumes that only one position (in this case, the supreme leader) wields all of the executive power; it neglects to consider the fact that there can be other positions with some form of executive power (in this case, the president) that the main position itself lacks. The ITN/R status of "2023 Singaporean presidential election", which had a similar context, was debated under the same rationale (and later removed), though it was still ultimately posted. =JaventheAldericky= (Would you like to talk to me?) 14:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support either original Blurb or AltBlurb II. (later purely among the implication that's part of ITN/R: that this will mean Keir Starmer becomes PM) Obviously, we'll be waiting for the official results (rather than just the exit polls) and such to make it official. Article appears to be in great shape; hopefully this quality will be maintained through all the official results being added. I'm somewhat neutral (mildly opposed) on whether we should bother describing the margin of the election. However, if there's an applicable superlative, (e.g, it break's Labour's old record for most seats won) then that would have a much more convincing argument to be mentioned on the front page.

- Support, with "landslide" wording; they're on course to 400, which is Blair numbers. Sceptre (talk) 04:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Posted As Labour has already got more than 50 per cent of the electorate seats (362 right now, with 326 needed for a majority), it's probably safe to post ALT0 at this point. I don't think it'll be long before "landslide" can be added to the blurb. Schwede66 04:26, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- There have been other "landslide" elections. Have we ever used that term in an election blurb? -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:35, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Majority would be a better word than "landslide". ITN should save the word "landslide" for the actual landslides that kill lots of people (they seem to have stopped counting in New Guinea). For elections, we should stick to words that more accurately describe the result such as supermajority. Simply winning a majority is a significant achievement when so many countries have systems that require complex coalitions such as we see in the current Netherlands blurb. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- We don't generally use the term supermajority for this, in the UK. Secretlondon (talk) 07:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- That doesn't matter because Labour don't seem to have quite that many seats (433 is two thirds of 650). The point is to use appropriate technical terms rather than colourful journalistic metaphors. In the Westminster system, the key thing is to get a "working majority". Andrew🐉(talk) 07:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- We don't generally use the term supermajority for this, in the UK. Secretlondon (talk) 07:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose landslide or majority or anything else. Longstanding precedent is that we don't attempt to add "nuance" or editorialisation to election results, even those that are "disputed" or "near-unanimous" or whatever, and there's no reason to deviate from that here. The current simple blurb that they won is completely sufficient and should not be changed. — Amakuru (talk) 07:07, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- The convention in Britain is that a 100-seat majority is a landslide; Labour have won a 170-seat majority. If anything qualifies, this does. This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 07:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose landslide as an editorialising term. "Supermajority" isn't great either as the Parliament does not operate with a supermajority system as far as I know (no equivalent of, say, the 60-vote filibuster in the US Senate). Stating that Labour won a majority by themselves (and, when confirmed, that Starmer becomes PM) is the most objective thing to do. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 07:39, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- In the Westminster system, a substantial majority is significant because it means that the PM can force through legislation without having to appease rebels and rivals in his own party. See the US House of Representatives for the difficulty of getting things done with a narrow majority. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support - I find it funny this was nominated before any seat was even called. It might be good to mention just how historic this win is, the worst result for the Conservative Party I believe in its entire 200 year existence. This is a pretty crazy result as the dominant party in UK politics is going extinct. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 08:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- The popular vote for the Conservatives was still quite substantial while the vote for Labour was little changed. The result in seats was a typical quirk of the first-past-the-post system. The main novelty is the advent of Reform UK which got the next largest popular vote and so split the centre-right vote.
- What helped Labour is that their leader looks and sounds like a conservative -- a safe pair of hands, rather than a radical like Corbyn, a wild child like Boris or a city slicker like Rishi. It's interesting that our blurb calls him "Sir Keir Starmer", like a "knight of the shires". Andrew🐉(talk) 08:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Those look like numerical results once the full complete tally is known. The results that Labour won was based on factors like sufficient tallies from the various locals as well as candidates conceding that they lost, all reported in RSes. — Masem (t) 12:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Template:U There's currently 2 seats to go (out of 650), until those are declared, these "results" figures don't exist. But that doesn't change the outcome that Labour have won, a fact that was confirmed in reliable sources before this was posted. And the article has been updated with this information and aftermath, and so WP:ITNQUALITY is met. We have posted other countries in a similar state i.e. where 95+% of results are known and the election result is assured. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:35, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Standard practice for ITN has been to post once the general outcome has been confirmed, since it's rare to instantly get total figures for every single constituent election from any country. There will always be stragglers, so yes, there will be some small gaps in the data as everyone in the world waits for those stragglers. However, it remains that all the RSes have reported that Labour has won a majority of seats, and that won't change. And Keir Starmer has already been appointed Prime Minister. Nottheking (talk) 20:29, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'll just reply here since this is pretty much moot. My concern is that we posted an article on an election with an entire results table left blank. Did we really need to wait until all 650 seats were called before updating it? I've seen other stories held up for far less. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 21:04, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

- Neutral Probably under the bar as a stand-alone entry.

- Support a record that has stood for a long time being broken, and a target article Mark Cavendish that's a GA. This is more in the news than the eventual TdF winners usually are (because it's a record that has stood for nearly 50 years that was thought unbreakable for most of that time), and that article is nowhere near the quality of Cavendish's article either. Monumental achievement with worldwide coverage, which is higher enough to meet the threshold of WP:ITNSIGNIF. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose Winning a stage in a multiple-day cycling race has absolutely no meaning. One may not win a single stage but eventually win the race. I don't see a reason to post a meaningless record. If it were a record set at one-day classics, it'd be a much stronger argument for posting, but it's clearly not. Note also that he's not finished half of the Tour de France editions he entered and was ranked well below 100th place in all editions he finished, so it's completely worthless to talk about any notable record here.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- He's a sprinter, and they often don't complete all three weeks, different physiology. Where he finishes in the general classification is a complete irrelevance. Ericoides (talk) 12:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- To claim "Winning a stage in a multiple-day cycling race has absolutely no meaning" suggests you have absolutely no understanding of cycling. See today's L'Equipe, which only devotes seven pages to the Cavendish record. Ericoides (talk) 13:21, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed. I'm not personally supporting this item as of sufficient encyclopaedic interest for ITN, but the achievement itself certainly isn't insignificant. Stage wins on the Tour de France are a big deal and treated as such in reliable sources. Wikipedians' opinions on their relevance is what's "meaningless" here. — Amakuru (talk) 16:22, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Reply I’ve been avidly following cycling about 18 years now, and that’s why I know that this record isn’t significant at all. In multiple-day cycling races, time is what counts, not the number of stage wins. You may say whatever you want about my understanding of cycling and cite zillion sources stating that this is a big achievement, but that won’t change the established fact that these stage victories won’t help Cavendish ever win Tour de France. This record is trivial as Ronnie O’Sullivan’s 1,000 century breaks achieved in 2019 or LeBron James breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s long-standing record for most points in the NBA.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 16:45, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- Records based on competing and winning (or whatever the aspect) a number of times, which the chances of improving simply increase with the person participating in more events, are records that are ripe to be broken and not really fair. More approach records that would make sense are breaking race times or other measurable factors in a competitive sport, or achieving a certain type of scoring record within a single game and/or season. But as others have said, when the race is done and we post the result (per ITNR), it makes sense to possibly include this record too. — Masem (t) 16:31, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose respectfully. It seems like this was simply the arrest of four alleged Russophilic activists who were discussing a coup plot via instant messages. An actual attempted coup that could pose a real threat to Zelenskyy would definitely be notable, but an alleged coup plot that had already failed before anything could have even been attempted is not big enough to warrant a separate blurb for an event already covered in Ongoing.

(Closed) BB(5) discovery
[edit]Template:Atop Template:ITN candidate I guess the article needs work to be understandable to non-experts and should highlight more about the new discovery, but I think this is a big deal for computer science and mathematics. It's been 41 years since progress was made on this problem, it closely relates to the limits of mathematical knowledge and mathematical proof, it was a big online volunteer collaboration over several years, and it's one of the first new mathematical results to be formalized in a proof assistant contemporaneously with its announcement (which helped other mathematicians be more confident more quickly that the result was correct). It's also very likely the largest Busy Beaver number that humanity will ever be able to discover. So this is potentially the only progress on this problem that Wikipedia will ever be able to announce! Schoen (talk) 23:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support just beat me too it! Big thing in computer science tho Ion.want.uu (talk) 23:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Wow! Didn't follow it too closely, I'm surprised it was actually discovered. Science at ITN is always great, and, as Schoen says, this is likely the largest Busy Beaver number we'll be able to discover (for two-state Turing machines at least). Not only does the state space grow very fast, but these numbers are inherently uncomputable, meaning you can't just throw more computing power to find them, you need to go through mathematical proofs for each Turing machine. By the way, for anyone curious, the number is 47 176 870. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- A lower bound on the sixth Busy Beaver number is 10⇈15, or 1010...15 times...10. Needless to say, we don't have enough space in this universe to even write it down. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:49, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose primary because the target article is terribly undersourced and is the symptom of being far too technical for an encyclopedia. Besides that, I'd like to see at least either a peer-review article or a more mainstream news source covering this, because as the Quantum article points out, this is more a curiosity than a breakthrough in mathematics. --Masem (t) 02:00, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Target article is extremely poorly sourced (indeed, the main paragraph explaining it has precisely zero sources) and is not written in anything like an accessible manner; we do not expect technical articles to be dumbed down but even the introduction to this article makes assumptions that the reader knows what a halting Turing machine, its "states", or transition tables are. It is unfortunate that a lot of computer science articles are like this. Black Kite (talk) 09:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle, but unfortunately the article is nearly fully unsourced, and is nowhere near being ready for the main page. Gödel2200 (talk) 12:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. While I'm open to posting mathematical advances, there are multiple problems with this: a) The topic is extremely esoteric and doesn't seem to have any application - the 'applications' section of the article speculates about uses in principle but indicates they are all impossible in practice. b) The fifth BB number has been known since 1990, but was only conjectured not proven [14]. While proving it now is useful, it's hardly a surprise. c) There is no formal publication of this result. The team's own website announcement [15] states "we are currently working on a human-readable paper" i.e. it hasn't been written up yet, let alone peer reviewed. A peer-reviewed publication is a requirement for posting scientific news. d) There's little to no coverage in mainstream media, I couldn't find anything beyond that Quanta article. e) The article is incomprehensible to most of our readers, who would not learn anything from clicking on that bold link. So while I commend the nomination, I don't think this is suitable for ITN. Modest Genius talk 19:17, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose per all above. Poorly-sourced article that doesn't explain why these numbers matter (certainly not to an extent remotely close to establishing main page notability), and if my bachelor's in mathematics is not nearly enough to comprehend the article, main page readers don't have a chance. -- Kicking222 (talk) 21:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- I agree that it's pretty easy to describe how to emulate the five-state Beaver. But in order for someone to care a lot about the behavior of these "cards", we might also want to connect this to "this is one of the purest ways to model and reason about what computers do, and what computers can potentially do". And indeed "the cards can do math, potentially as well as any other system can do math". Or maybe "computer programs' behavior is complex and hard to predict, in a very fundamental mathematical sense; people have now managed to fully analyze the behavior of some small computer programs, which was extremely difficult, and there's good reason to think humanity will never make it to the next step of fully analyzing the behavior of very slightly larger computer programs".

Full impacts aren't known yet, however the article body does not yet substantiate the "extensive damage" claim at the moment. The record, while interesting, is very much trivia, and a record for being category 4 is obscure. Cat 5 maybe we can talk, but not a category 4 record. DarkSide830 (talk) 21:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Waituntil we know more about the human impact of the storm. It's early in the season, and both this storm and other storms may yet cause more damage. As it stands, I'd oppose, but I don't want to pre-empt things as the situation develops. GenevieveDEon (talk) 21:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)- Wait For the most part, breaking specific intensity records don't warrant inclusion here.

Wait: Per others. At time of writing this, further land impacts are likely to occur in the coming week per the NHC forecast and model guidance. The full extent of this storm's impact has yet to be seen.Comment: Additionally, Beryl has recently attained category 5 intensity, breaking Hurricane Emily's record for earliest cat 5 storm in basin, though it is not expected to impact any land as a cat 5 storm. Changing to Support per others; this storm's impact is clearly notable, especially for the time of year and locations impacted.

- Wait for impacts to be known, and for potential subsequent landfalls. While it is true that this storm is remarkable from a meteorological perspective, ITN posts based on the real world effects a storm has on populated areas. It is still very possible it could warrant posting in the future, but not right now. Vanilla Wizard 💙 12:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

It has broken multiple records, has killed at least 16 people so far, and is bearing down on Jamaica. After that it will move on toward Mexico.

- So many passing recently, you’re right. I could argue (unsuccessfully of course) that all those you mentioned, except for A. S. Byatt and Martin Amis, should’ve gotten blurbs. Along with Louise Glück, who died last year and should‘ve gotten a blurb. Gerald Murnane (who you mentioned) is still alive I think, but I think he may deserve a blurb, too. I haven’t read anything by him yet. I think only Kundera got a blurb. And Paul Auster didn’t even get his RD posted, though it was ready to go on the last day of the deadline. Trauma Novitiate (talk) 04:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Murnane was a slip on my part. I think I meant Maryse Condé, another blurb-worthy figure IMO. There was a similar burst of deaths just under a decade ago, with Umberto Eco, Marquez, Le Guin, Toni Morrison, etc all within a few years. For my part, I'd support Amis as a prominent public intellectual if not for the fact that it would SNOW. There was a push for an Auster blurb, but it was shut down. Even I opposed that because in the US he's a fairly well-known and unique but, in Europe (especially France), he's just a particularly skilled author of Nouveau romans. His influence was low relative to his popularity.
- Murnane is IMO the second most skilled living novelist, behind Krasznahorkai,so I'd highly recommend him. Sincerely, Dilettante 15:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the Maryse Condé mention. Never heard of her, but I need to check her out. I need to read Murnane, too. I’m not so sure about Paul Auster and his popularity vs. influence. When I lived in Germany, every train station had a couple paperback Auster titles available, but we’re talking 15 years ago. If you “google” Paul Auster Rockstar you’ll get a half-dozen hits from European sources (ie., https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/arts24/20240501-the-rock-star-status-of-us-writer-paul-auster-in-france). But this doesn’t necessarily contradict what you said, because admittedly this “rockstar” status is kind of a publicity stunt that applied to Auster’s status in the 80s and 90s. He’s not really read or known by Americans today. Everything I’ve read by him kind of blows me away, so I’m biased. Trauma Novitiate (talk) 11:28, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support blurb Influential in his field (kinda think Munro should’ve been blurbed too but oh well). Article could be updated a bit better to reflect his death / reactions. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Support Blurb - I'm not an expert, but the article seems to support well, with citations, the proposition that he was a genuinely outstanding figure in the literary world. GenevieveDEon (talk) 22:00, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb Don't know about this guy (maybe I should?) but apparently he was "one of the greatest writers and intellectuals of the 20th and 21st centuries." I guess that's pretty solid. Bremps... 23:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb. Surprised to learn that he was the author of The Ghost Rider, which, of course was later made into a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage. Hyperbolick (talk) 01:37, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, I don’t believe that’s correct. The movie is based on the comic book by that name, which was inspired by the song “Riders In The Sky (song) that Johnny Cash (and many other singers, too) made famous. You know the one: “yippee i-oh, yippee i-yay, ghost riders in the sky” — Trauma Novitiate (talk) 03:53, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb – I agree that this article is very impressive. Very well-written, inclusive, and clearly establishing that Kadare is a great story-teller deserving of his acclaim and international readership. I had not even an inkling about any of this until just now, after I read the Wikipedia article which is close to being ready to be posted as an RD. A few minor issues such as the ISBN’s that Classicwiki mentioned already. - Trauma Novitiate (talk) 03:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb old man dies. Manner of death not notable. Not a serving political head. This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 04:57, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb. His article explains well why he is blurb-worthy, though I don't think the update is sufficient to post just yet. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 15:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb. I find it dubious that a person whom not many know is blurbed just because his peers praised him, while many people whom everyone knows, like Donald Sutherland, Christopher Plummer, Kirk Douglas and Olivia de Havilland, Cormac Maccarthy, Vangelis, to a lesser extent William Hurt, Angela Lanesbury, Harry Bellafonte.
- He hasn't even got a Nobel Prize, we didn't blurb a great many guys who had one.
- I don't think he is that transformative, I don't know his books, they weren't adapted to the screen notably.
- I also wouldn't say his influence in Europe is large. BilboBeggins (talk) 16:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Your list is mostly celebrities. Secretlondon (talk) 19:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would regard Vangelis as top musician, Cormac Maccarthy as accomplished writer, Donald Sutherland and Christopher Plummer as character actors, William Hurt as powerful dramatic actor. Lanesbury was first nominated for Oscar 80 years ago. Bellafonte was devoted activist. And Havilland and Douglas were just legends. Still are. BilboBeggins (talk) 20:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- How influential are those actors? I've never heard an actor say "I saw William Hurt in Lost in Space and it was revelatory—it completely changed the way I act." At most actors are inspired by each other; it's rare their styles shift much. On the other hand, it's common for popular authors to cause significant shifts in the literary style du jour or the themes most covered.
- With Kadare, you can also make an argument for political influence as a dissenter and activist. Sincerely, Dilettante 21:49, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- To be fair, Lost in Space isn't even in top 20 Hurt's performances.

- I put dozens of Sutherland references last month. BilboBeggins (talk) 22:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

- notability does not always go hand in hand with popularity. _-_Alsor (talk) 19:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Whether a death is still in the news by the time it's posted depends on popularity, though. That's the more important thing, blurbwise. Notability just determines whether the biography exists. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- But enduring popularity across globe is notability.
- I regard as the problem that in a competitive field top or upper tier representatives won't be considered, only top top top ones, while in a sport the best known player will be considered good enough for blurb.
- 81 wiki page for Sutherland, 30 for Willie Mays, 30 for Shane Warne, around 40 for Jim Brown at the time of death.
- This all hardly makes sense.
- I would assume blurb deaths are for cases where a person is so well known that it is news that they died, and everyone should know about it, and Wikipedia spreads this information. As in cases of Pele, Queen Elizabeth II, Sidney Poitier, Pope Benedickt XVI. BilboBeggins (talk) 20:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- If we're going to use "popularity across the globe" as the new criteria for death blurbs, why stop there? Let's apply popularity across the board at ITN! New PM in the Netherlands? Who cares! Taylor Swift's outfit malfunctioned during a concert in Ireland! Kim Kardashian just renovated her luxury villa! Let's please focus on the really popular news. Khuft (talk) 21:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- WP does not consider fame or popularity as part of notability, because that feeds into the systematic bias of English and Western topics. We are an encyclopedia, the main page meant to displace high quality encyclopedic articles, and in this case, a person that has a thoroughly established legacy and impact on literature, an ideal encyclopedic topic, even if one hasn't heard of them before. Absolutely meets what we want the main page to reflect. Masem (t) 22:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- More specifically, we're an English encyclopedia. Most English readers and writers exist in or know of this "Western world" of internettable common knowledge; these have always been the sort of people we work with and for. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've reminded you of this recently and it had no effect, so I'll just suggest "globularity" for this newfangled metric (assuming Khuft isn't kidding about that topless news in Ireland). InedibleHulk (talk) 04:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- The key of what I'm saying is that just because the majority of readers and editors of en.wiki likely have not heard of this author because of being outside the normal English/Western sphere of influence (and I'm in that boat of having no idea who he was), should absolutely not be a valid point of opposition becasue that runs against the fact we cover all topics globally. The same argument, in reverse, came up with the Willie Mays blurb, in that he was a figure likely known to most American readers and editors but not to other parts of the world - but still demonstrated why he was a great figure in the field of baseball. Masem (t) 04:58, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Now you're getting en.wiki (the thing that covers all topics globally) mixed up with "us" (WP:ITN, a tiny speck within the whole, where Western news comes first). This is hopeless. You win! InedibleHulk (talk) 05:24, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- Blurb? Is he famous for dying? HiLo48 (talk) 01:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb, blurbs should be reserved for cases where the sourcing could support a stand-alone article on their death and funeral. Abductive (reasoning) 06:50, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb, support RD only This is what RD is for. While Kadare may have been somewhat transformative in a field, he wasn't transformative on a world stage like many state leaders or even top-tier sports stars. And even in literature, he doesn't reach the notability of, say, Stephen King. 1779Days (talk) 07:34, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb not only a legendary writer, but also his death and funeral are notable, given that Albania and Kosovo declared national days of mourning. 2A02:908:676:E640:1529:50D8:AC9D:7F61 (talk) 19:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment - Hey now, is there any intention to post this as a blurb? From the get-go the consensus is to post as blurb. And it’s not a weak consensus. It’s pretty substantial. So why hasn’t it been posted as a blurb? Let’s face it: RD’s seldom attain the status of an ITN posting. Once again, RD’s need their own section separate from ITN. And that’s just the bottom line. That’s why I posted this on the Talk page a few weeks ago Wikipedia talk:In the news#Should RD’s have their own section separate from the In the News section?: also scroll down to Andrew’s comment on the talk page: “Here are the top 10 reasons why this is a good idea”: Superb!

(Closed) New Indian Criminal Code comes into effect
[edit]Template:Atop Template:ITN candidate
- Oppose I wondered what "Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita" meant as I don't speak Hindi. The nominated article doesn't tell me so I have to go to Google Translate to find that it means "Indian Judicial Code". My impression is that this is much the same as before with the usual offences of theft, murder, etc. It's just that everything has been rewritten in Hindi rather than English, right? But this is the English language Wikipedia and so the topic is more suitable for हिन्दी विकिपीडिया. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I am an Indian and I would say that this is not something worth mentioning in the ITN. Almost all the rules and laws are same expect for few notable exceptions. This is not something that is changing India drastically. Also, picture of the constitution has got nothing to do with it. PrinceofPunjabTALK 13:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The article does not make it seem like much has changed through the new code. It does have a criticism section, but the criticism about new changes the code has seems to be limited to ambiguous phrases it introduces. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per all above. Totally irrelevant for ITN. _-_Alsor (talk) 14:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per all above. The Kip (contribs) 15:34, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Non-oppose but I will note that we didn't post previous changes of viceroy/reine in Commonwealth realms This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 03:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose good faith nom. Kind of a ceremonial stand in for the head of state. The prime minister holds the power and technically King Charles III is the head of state. So I'm not seeing any real significance here. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The governor-general is mainly a ceremonial role, as mentioned by Ad Orientem --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 04:46, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Article is in great shape. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:10, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per the reasons above, mainly ceremonial and they have not been posted previously. Ornithoptera (talk) 05:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as the governor-general is mostly a ceremonial role. As the lead of the article says: "In almost all instances the governor-general only exercises de jure power..." Gödel2200 (talk) 14:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
(Closed) United States President granted criminal immunity
[edit]Template:Atop Template:ITN candidate
- Oppose — This is a standard and expected ruling that has no personal significance to the country, unlike Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 14:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. Totally irrelevant for ITN. _-_Alsor (talk) 14:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose not suitable for the ITN and the main page. PrinceofPunjabTALK 15:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose because it's an ongoing event as part of a larger legal process (Trump indictments) and wasn't a conviction or acquittal like the New York trial. It's not suitable for ITN. JohnAdams1800TALK 15:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support because of the immense significance of this decision. ITN has had an anti-US bias that prevents most posters on here from recognizing the obvious importance of extremely significant news stories for far too long, and the opposition expressed above to one of the most noteworthy Supreme Court decisions in the lifetime of anyone reading this is an exceptionally good illustration of that. IntoThinAir (talk) 16:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose both the topic and the blurb. The decision is more nuanced than described in the blurb. And ElijahPepe is correct that this is not a "major upset" (to use sports jargon). EvergreenFir (talk) 16:41, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose since this goes back to lower courts to rule what actions are or aren't immune now, which most pundits I've seen will still leave some of the table. If anything, the three decisions to nuke the administrative state (Jarsky, Loper Bright, and corner Post) are actually far more impactful but even then not ITN worthy material.
